S.M.A.R.T. goals are a concrete way for students to set manageable goals and track their progress. I like to think about S.M.A.R.T. Squared (^2). Goals should be specific & strengthening, measurable & motivational, attainable & appropriate, relevant, rewarding & resourceful, and timely & trackable. Using this Google Doc template, students can answer questions about their goals and then use the color-coded chart to complete their goal statement. Post this on Google Classroom and provide students with time to work toward their goals and track their progress during class time.

Sort activities are a great way to practice responsible decision-making. Think about a problem that impacts your students. An example for older students could be whether or not to post something online. An example for young learners could be whether or not a situation requires telling an adult. Create a Jamboard with examples on sticky notes. Have your students sort the decisions and discuss the results as a class. This can be done as a whole group (give everyone edit access) or independently (make a copy). Either way, have a debriefing session at the end.
