Daily Successful Habits
Students Setting Goals• All students will set goals with their
teacher this year.
• They will set at least two academic goals and one behavior. Goals can include, math, reading, writing, handwriting, spelling, organization, etc.
What will this look like?
• Student goals are written and posted in classroom.
• They offer a year round bulletin board that is interactive and meaningful.
• Teachers model how to set and develop goals
S - specific, significant, stretching M - measurable, meaningful, motivational A - agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented T - time-based, timely, tangible, trackable
Week 1• Help students identify their goals.• Each grade can decide how they want
the goals to look. (paragraphs, sheet, basketball,etc.)
• SMART Goals• Goals should be posted around the
room. (Bulletin Board, etc.)
Sample-Kindergarten Goal• One of my goals this year is to learn all
of my letters and sounds. Right now, I know 10 letters and some sounds. To reach this goal I will pay attention to my teacher, practice at home, and ask questions when I am confused.
Sample-Grade 4• This year I want to accomplish many goals.
The first goal I have set for myself is to turn in all of my homework on time. Last year, I had a lot of problems with homework. I will accomplish this by writing down my assignments in my planner everyday, checking with the teacher when I am not sure about assignment, and I will try to keep my papers organized in a binder so I don’t lose my work.
STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES

student, their teacher, and their parents for
the purpose of 1) reviewing educational
progress, 2) setting goals, and 3) securing
parent help with goals.
Student Led Conferences• Accountability for learning
• Student reflection on their work and their role as a learner

Student Portfolios• Keep samples of student work for each subject. Try to add a
piece from reading and math each week to have a good selection to choose from. Students can also select work they wish to share.
• Two weeks prior to the conference teachers and students select and review their goals. Each select work samples that will help show the student’s progress toward their goals.
• The students, along with teacher input, will write a reflection on their progress. The reflection will be used during the students led-conference to help guide the conversation.
