Think, Pair, Share

• Quick Write Think about your childhood. What
  did you dream of becoming?
• If you are not what you thought you would be,
  what stopped you?
• Once the music begins you should begin walking
  away from the people you sat by. When the music
  stops find the closet person to you. Introduce
  yourself, where you will be teaching and grade
  level. Discuss what your dream was and what kept
  you from that dream. Be ready to share with the
  group.

The difference between a dream and a goal is
ACTION!

Why should I teach goal setting?
Research on Goal Setting Ronald Taylor (1964)
compared the goals of underachievers and
achievers. He found that underachievers either
had no particular goals, or if they did, aimed
impossibly high. Achievers, by comparison, set
realistic, attainable goals that were related to
their school work. Robert Wood and Edwin Locke
(1987) found a significant relationship between
goals and self-efficacy Students with a stronger
sense of efficacy also set higher, but reachable,
goals.  Wood and Locke also pointed out that more
challenging goals usually prompt higher
achievement. Challenge, of course, is in the eye
of the beholder. Goals the teacher considers
challenging may be seen as too stiff by some
students, and laughably easy by others. The
challenge for the teacher, then, is to assist
students in setting reasonable goals for
themselves. Albert Bandura and Dale Schunk
(1981) showed that when elementary students are
taught to carve up large, distant goals into
smaller subgoals, several useful outcomes
follow  They make faster progress in learning
skills or content, they learn an important
self-regulation skill, and they improve their
self-efficacy and interest in the task. In every
class, there may be some students who already are
skillful at goal-setting. On their own, gifted
students especially gifted girls make frequent
use of goal-setting and planning strategies. But
all students will profit from careful thought
about their achievement goals. Dale Schunks
(1985) study of sixth grade learning disabled
mathematics students showed that the best
learning occurred not just when the students
focused on short-term goals, but when they also
had a say in goal-setting. Students showed more
growth in self-efficacy and math skills when they
participated in goal-setting. Specific goals are
far more effective motivators than general ones,
such as Do your best. When a student goal
contains a clear performance standard, it cuts
out a lot of guesswork about where to aim.
Learning and self-efficacy are enhanced by
specific goals, because it is easier for both
teacher and student to gauge progress.
Increases motivation, increases achievment,
increases confidence!

Why Set Goals?

• Goals focus us on a specific target.
• Without goals, we tend to become scattered in
  thoughts and actions.
• Goals direct our minds on achievement.
• Goal setting improves everyday actions and
  decision making.
• Goal setting provides us with a sense of purpose
  and develops our skills.

7
The Four Key Questions

• Establish your goals by answering these
  questions
• 1. Define the Challenge Why do I want it?
• Define the desire or challenge
  facing you.
• 2. Goal What do I want?
• Write down the goal you want to
  achieve.
• 3. Action Steps How will I get it?
• Your specific step-by-step
  action plan to reach your goal.
• 4. Target Dates When do I want it?
• The completion date to reach
  your goal.

Say your goal is To lose weight. Heres how to
make it SMART Step 1 Make it Specific To
lose weight is vague. What exactly do you want
your weight loss to look like? Specific Ill
fit into my black skinny jeans It helps if You
can picture it clearly
10
Step 2 Make it Measurable How precisely will you
know when youve reached your goal? Whats at the
finish line? Measurable My black skinny jeans
will zip up all the way It helps if Theres an
objective, defined point
11
Step 3 Make it Appropriate Here you run a
reality check. Are you prepared to make the
commitment your goal will take? If your skinny
jeans are 12 sizes away, are you willing to
dramatically alter your life? Is there a more
achievable target you are willing to work
for? Appropriate My black skinny blue bootleg
jeans will zip up all the way It helps if Your
goal and your commitment level are well matched
12
If its a should inherited from someone else or
out-of-date thinking, ditch or revise it. For
instance, if a weight-loss buddy thinks your goal
should be to finish a marathon but you loathe
running, competition and the outdoors, choose
something else. Make it relevant to you or youll
run out of steam early on. Relevant My black
skinny blue bootleg jeans will zip up all the way
which is realistic to my goals of being healthy
and looking my best. It helps if You arent
fighting with yourself to reach your objective
13
Step 5 Make it Time-Bound Whats a reasonable
date for achieving your goal? Strike a balance
between being so ambitious you never expect to
succeed and aiming so low you lack incentive to
try. You can tweak the date as you make
progress. Time-Bound My black skinny blue
bootleg jeans will zip up all the way which is
relevant to my goals of being healthy and looking
my best by October 2013. It helps if The
time frame is close enough to energize you
(sometimes you need a series of subgoals)
From 5 Steps To SMART Goal Setting

Tips that can help you set effective goals

• Develop several goals. A list of five to seven
  items gives you several things to work on over a
  period of time. Pick the most important goal(s).
• State goals as declarations of intention I
  will try out for three clubs.
• Attach a date to each goal. State what you
  intend to accomplish and by when. Short term and
  long term goals should be included.
• Be specific. To raise my grade is too general
  to raise my grade by 10 is better.
• Share your goals with someone who cares if you
  reach them. Sharing your intentions with your
  parents, your best friend, or your teacher will
  help ensure success.
• Write down your goals and put them where you will
  see them. The more often you read your list, the
  more results you get.
• Review and revise your list. Goal setting
  improves with practice, so play around with it!

15
Begin with the end in mind!

• After getting to know your class data, what
  subject or sub area of a subject could use
  growth?
• Set a goal for that area. Goals have to be
  SMART for you and for your students.

16
What STUDENTS think about and do with assessment
results is as important as what adults think
about and do with them

• Rick Stiggins

17

• To set a positive tone for the school year and
  help young people develop important skills, its
  valuable to encourage students to think about
  their future and set goals they can work toward.
• Michael Jordan Story

How to begin

• Smaller can be better When it comes to goal
  setting, smaller is better.  Help your students
  set small, achievable goals that can be
  accomplished quickly. As you work through a
  project or unit, you can help them set more
  difficult and larger, longer-term goals. During
  the initial phase of any project, short-term
  goals that ensure immediate success are
  essential. Young students, in particular, are not
  able to focus on long-term goals. One setback
  during a long series of successes with short-term
  goals is much easier to handle than a larger
  set-back with one long-term goal.  As  Michael
  Jordan's advice states, Step by step, I cant
  see any other way...

• What to do...
• Ideas to get you started
• Discuss what a goal is accept their ideas and
  work toward a common understanding that a goal is
• Print the Michael Jordan goal-setting basketball
  story and share it with your students.
• Work with your students to set three goals each
  week. A form (My Accomplishment Plan) is provided
  for the student to use. These goals should be
  specific so that it is easy for the student to
  recognize progress toward them. The goals should
  also be attainable...within the student's reach
  with reasonable effort. At the end of each week,
  review the student's Accomplishment Plan for the
  week and assist the student in developing new
  goals for the next week.
• Find trade books that deal with kids meeting
  their goals/dreams. Read and discuss what worked
  for them.
• Tell students about your own goals and if or how
  you have reached them.
• Have students ask their parents what goals they
  have or had and how they work to met them.
• Step by step lesson plan ideas are included in
  your packet. ?

MAP Data and Goal Setting

• Begin the year off analyzing your incoming
  students MAP data to help you make SMART goals
  on the area that needs the most growth.
• Conference with students and have students graph
  or record their Spring scores before they take
  this years Fall test.
• Have students set SMART goals to raise that
  percentage or RIT score.
• www.nwea.org Teacher reports give you percentage
  and RIT scores.

Goal Setting for KCCT

• After analyzing the results, I placed the number
  of Distinguished, Proficient, Apprentice, and
  Novice on a spreadsheet for each individual
  tested grade.
• Next, I found some music that would get the
  students pumped up.
• I danced into the room with the music and let the
  song finish before I began. This really got the
  kids curious.
• I told them that we had reason to celebrate!
  Scores were in from the KCCT!
• I placed their scores on the document camera and
  explained what they meant.
• I asked if they thought they could do better than
  last years third graders, etc.
• I told them that I had visited the number 1
  school in the state and they had scored only 13
  points higher than us!
• I asked students who would like to be number one
  in the state and what we could do to become
  number 1.
• I had students set a goal for our school 128 1
  in the State!
• I had students list things they could do to help
  our school become number 1.
• I had their teachers pledge to do something fun
  if they reached their goal and we posted that in
  the classroom.
• I passed out the goal sheet for them to pledge
  what they would do and posted them as a bulletin
  board for all the school to see.
• From there, I introduced the data analysis
  folders to help them goal set for weekly tests.
  This can be used for MAP goal setting, too.

Data Folders

• Each student gets a manila folder with data
  analysis sheets and goal setting sheets stapled
  inside.
• We wrote our learning targets on the outside of
  the folder.
• I can analyze and reflect on my scores. I can
  set goals to improve my scores.
• Model and explain how to use folders.
• Students use their data folders to keep all
  scores graphed inside. This helps with
  visualizing how their pattern of scores look and
  makes them reflect on their scores. I didnt
  study for this test so my graph is thirty points
  lower!
• It also helps with parents during conferences.

After the whole group introduction of how to use
data folders and practicing together, students
can do this independently at a center or as an
anchor activity. Show video
