10/11 Goal Setting

Whenever you need help, please ask for it.
Please write your homework in your assignment book.
Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).

Today in class you will 
  • write academic goals.
  • create a plan with specific steps to achieve each goal.
  • start becoming organized for student led conferences.

Why?
  • By identifying and stating goals and coming up with a plan you are more likely to achieve your goals.
  • To take ownership of your learning.

1.  Discuss with someone near you what you will be doing in class today and why (see above).   1 minute

2.  Organize the SLC portfolio as indicated in class.       5 minutes

3.  By yourself, brainstorm, in writing, your strengths and weaknesses in school.      5 minutes

4.  Create at least two academic goals that do not focus on grades. (refer to your brainstorm about strengths and weaknesses) For each goal create a plan or steps to achieve the goal - BE SPECIFIC       30 minutes
EXAMPLE:
GOAL - I will complete all my homework.
PLAN
  • Write hw in assignment book (AB)
  • bring all materials home
  • look in my AB at home
  • put away/avoid distractions while doing hw
  • check off hw in AB when completed
  • put completed hw in a hw folder
  • bring hw folder to all classes
5.  While you wait, complete the Google A Day challenge using Google Search techniques you have learned (which doesn't include searching the question).     


__________________________________________
Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, 
"What Did You Do in School Today?"
Ask them.......
  • What goals have you set for yourself?
  • How do you plan on achieving them?
