In this five-week class, students learn to set achievable long-term and short-term goals to maximize academic success.

Class experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Beginner Level
By completing this class, students will learn to:
–Set long-term and short-term SMART goals and objectives
–Create manageable goals for different responsibilities and tasks
I was a Title I tutor for over five years and have worked as an educator and private tutor since January 2020. In 2022, I began offering professional executive functioning coaching services, and I hosted a virtual executive functioning summer camp in August 2023. Nearly every learner I have taught or coached has been diagnosed with ADHD or another learning difference.

Additionally, I have completed 24 graduate credits in applied neuroscience, giving me a more in-depth understanding of the brain’s role in learning differences and executive functioning.
Homework Offered
Each week, students will set and revise their goals. (See the Class Experience section for more information.) The amount of time to complete these tasks will vary each week and for each student. For example, students may find homework in the final week significantly easier than that in Week 3, especially if they were previously unfamiliar with goal setting. During most weeks, students will likely be able to complete the given homework in an hour, but they may need more time to work on their goal from Week 3 if they are planning to complete it by the end of Week 5. Learners demonstrate that they have set their goals by uploading photos and/or videos to Flip or Outschool. Students may read their goals and objectives on video or take a picture/screenshot of their writing. Additionally, learners will be given questions to answer in their videos or posts such as what they found easy, challenging, or helpful.

Grades Offered
Students will not receive a traditional grade for this class. However, a certificate of completion is available upon request if the student completes all required tasks, and I am happy to provide written feedback about the student's success and recommendations for next steps.
 1 file available upon enrollment
Each week, at least one handout will be uploaded with reminders about how to complete their goal, along with a template for goals when necessary. Students may find it helpful to print the handout. Alternatively, they can type or write their answers. Learners may want to keep all of their goals in a single notebook or binder and may want to purchase supplies for this purpose, but that purchase is optional.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students are strongly encouraged to upload photos or videos of their set goals to Flip or the Outschool classroom. Not only does showing progress build community between students and offer ideas for their peers, but it also helps students better visualize and show pride in their accomplishments.

Although photos and videos are encouraged, students do not need to show their face on camera or voice if it makes them uncomfortable. Students should never share personal information, which includes any sensitive information that might be in their goals (e.g. where they work or go to school). If I notice personal information, I will remove the video, but please speak to your learner if you have any reservations about what they might share.

Profile
I am a strong believer in project-based learning, especially with books. Therefore, most of my classes mix reading, discussions, and hands-on activities. I tend to avoid worksheets, vocabulary quizzes, and traditional lesson plans.
