We will identify and discuss strategies to support planning.
We will write SMART goals.
We will organize our Google Drives.
Planning: Making a roadmap to accomplish a particular goal or task.
Prioritizing: Determining and ranking the importance of a set of tasks.
SMART Goal: A plan that is specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, and time-based.
Organization: A system to keep materials neat and orderly.
Watch the TED Talk below and then complete the "Making a Plan" assignment. Pick one area of your life (school, sports, friends, family, etc.) and then choose a single goal in that area. Fill out the planning sheet below.
SMART GOALS
SMART goals are specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, and time-based. Read below for definitions of each of those things.
Specific: What specifically do you want to accomplish?
Measurable: How will you be able to measure or tell you have accomplished your goal?
Actionable: What steps will you take to put your plan in action?
Relevant: How is this goal important and relevant to your life?
Time-based: When will you meet your goal?
EXAMPLES
Below are examples of SMART goals in different areas of life. After reviewing them, you will write your own SMART goal.
Questions may be answered in bullets, but all goals must be written in a complete sentence.
ACADEMIC
By the end of the year, I will earn at lest 2 math credits. I will reach my goal for asking for help when I need it.
By the end of the semester, I will have at least 300 PLP points. I will reach my goal by staying on task and completing at least 2 assignments per day.
BEHAVIORAL
I will improve my behavior in Science by staying in class 100% of the time month. I will reach my goal by checking in with my science teacher every week.
I will earn 15 PLP points every week this quarter. I will do this by completing at least 2 assignments every day and checking in with my mentor teacher once a week.
SOCIAL
I will become involved in our school culture. I will do this by joining the SOS and helping to plan at least one event.
PERSONAL
By February, I will excercise at least 3 times per week. I will reach my goal by keeping track of my exercise schedule with a calendar and choosing activities from my list.
Now that you have learned what a SMART goal is and seen a few examples, you are going to write your own SMART goal. Use assignment 2.2 to help you write one goal. Your completed SMART goal must be written in a complete sentence.
