Goal setting is a powerful tool that helps students maintain focus on their objectives and track their progress effectively. It encourages self-monitoring and allows students to make necessary adjustments to stay on course toward achieving their goals. This strategy, adapted from Jennifer Knowlton, provides a structured approach for students to set and monitor their goals throughout a unit of study. At the beginning of each unit, students will establish a grade goal and outline specific action steps to achieve it. As the unit progresses, they will regularly track their performance, fostering accountability and continuous improvement.
