The “Post It” NoteA Revolutionary Goal Tool

Florence Chadwick• Take a minute to read her story.

• When finished, turn to a partner and share your thoughts about this story.

Why set goals?• Sets a clear target for achievement

• Help you focus your time and effort

• Provide motivation

• Provides roadmap to accomplishment

Visualizing your goal• What you imagine yourself to be, you

will become. When you visualize something, your brain goes to work full time to achieve what it has seen.

– -Allison Grenier

Daily Successful Habits

The Story of Tererai Trent

Do we value goal setting as a school? school

system?

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

Students facilitate meetings between the

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

• Improved communication between school, student, and parent

• Motivation

Students facilitate meetings between their teacher and their parents for the purpose of

1)Reviewing educational progress

2) Setting goals

3) Securing parent help with goals.

Students should:

Learn about student-led conferences Select sample work to share Reflect on their goals and set new goals (Resources) Learn ways to improve various behaviors and attitudes Practice

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.
