Define or Refine a Classroom Goal Setting Cycle & Make Space for It

Before you begin: make a copy of Student Agency - Goal Activity File.
Part I: Define or Refine a Classroom Goal Setting Cycle [Goal Setting Blueprint]
- Teachers: Step through the planning questions in the Goal Setting Cycle Blueprint section to help define or refine a goal setting cycle.
- Campus leaders: Put on your teacher lens as you work through the activity. This will help prepare you to support teachers to implement effective goal setting cycles.
Part II: Making Space for the Goal Setting Cycle
- Step through the questions to consider common trade-offs and structures, and make space for a meaningful goal setting cycle.
- Be sure to review the examples of common trade-offs and structures RBL teams have pursued to make the space for goal setting cycles.
