Goal Setting & Attainment

The I'm Determined Goal Plan is a visual representation of the steps needed to accomplish an identified goal.  The student's goal is written in the center of the sun.  Each sunray represents an outcome resulting from goal attainment.  In the box that appears below the sun, the steps needed to reach the goal are listed.

 

Tips for identifying goals:

  1. Determine if the goal will be short- or long-term.
  2. Refer to the “Life Lines” section of this website to find lessons that focus on goal setting and attainment.
  3. Consider meeting weekly with students to review goals, monitor progress, adjust plans if necessary, and outline next steps.
  4. Refer to the Action steps of the Good Day Plan to help students identify goals.
  5. View the clip below for a demonstration of using the I'm Determined Goal Plan.
  6. Visit the Films tab and view "Set your goal; Get your goal" for more ideas on goal setting and attainment.
