Welcome to the S.M.A.R.T. Goals and Dreams Class: Goal-Setting and Planning by a Pro! In this course, your learner will learn how to set and achieve their goals with the help of an experienced teacher. Our class is designed to be fun and engaging, with pre-recorded videos and weekly homework assignments that learners can complete at their own pace. Each week, your learner will develop the skills and tools necessary to set and achieve their goals, from identifying personal values and passions to breaking down long-term goals into actionable steps. Our teacher, Jonathan, has over 20 years of teaching experience and is passionate about helping learners set and achieve their goals. By the end of the course, your learner will have a personalized action plan for achieving their goals and the skills to continue setting and achieving goals throughout their life. Enroll today and join us on the journey to achieving your dreams! In this class, students will learn how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals and dreams, and plan for their achievement. The class will be divided into the following weeks and topics: Week 9: How to stay focused. Week 10: Reviewing and reflecting on progress. Week 11: Time management and prioritization skills for achieving goals. Week 12: Setting financial goals and creating a budget. Week 13: Creating a supportive network for goal achievement. Week 14: Celebrating achievements and setting new goals. Week 15: Making goal setting a lifelong habit. Week 16: Putting it all together and creating a plan for future success. The flexible schedule (Recorded Flex Class) allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started). The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week, as part of a project. After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps on how to improve or adapt. Time frame for the Week: Mondays - The teacher will post the information needed for the week. Students can submit questions. Tuesdays - Wednesday - The teacher can answer any questions pertaining to the topic of the week. The students will need to complete any homework assignments and answer any questions in the discussion. Thursday - Students need to have all tasks completed and uploaded in the classroom for teacher feedback and discussion. Students will discuss it among themselves. Friday - The teacher will provide feedback to the class and individual students. Saturday - Sunday - The teacher will be available to answer any questions that the students may have for the week or the next week. Please note: This course requires no prior experience. *For parents/families who feel their child would benefit from this course, but their budget does not allow for it, I do offer a number of discounts for families of lower income. Please message me with the course, dates and times you are interested in to learn more about the discounts I might be able to offer. )
