Set your student up for success this year. In this self-paced class, students will watch a recorded presentation on goal setting, define what success means to them, learn how to set SMART goals, and create a vision board for the upcoming school year.

For this class, I will post a recorded slide presentation lesson covering the following topics:

Lesson 1: Growth Mindset: A growth mindset means that you thrive on challenges and don't see failure as a way to describe yourself but as a springboard for growth and developing your abilities.
Students will be asked to share a personal story about a time they had to work hard to get better at something. They will be asked to share the strategies they used.

Lesson 2: Definition of Success: There will be a recorded short lesson about different definitions of success. Students will be asked to share their personal definition of success using the classroom chat board.

Lesson 3: SMART Goals: Explanation of SMART Goals, Goal Setting, and Examples. Students will be asked to write their own goal in the SMART Goal Format to share with the class or myself for feedback.

Students can turn in the assignment attached to the lessons using the message feature in the classroom or directly to the classroom chat stream and will be given feedback.

The culminating project for Lesson 4 will include creating a vision board, which is a poster with pictures of student goals. This can be done digitally, on regular paper, or on poster paper. Directions and examples will be posted. 

I will be available to answer questions throughout the week using the out-of-school classroom.
