Happy New Year ... Welcome 2024! Goal Setting
Dear Families of Deyton,
It is the beginning of a new year and a great time to talk about helping our elementary students set goals.
Even our youngest learners can clearly understand that a goal is just an area of weakness we need to strengthen and celebrate improvement!
Why set a goal?
A goal is an outcome that will make a difference as a result of achieving it. It can’t be too ambitious to be out of reach, but also not so simple that it does not challenge.
A goal has to be realistic with a stretch, requiring effort and focus to achieve it. That’s why goals need timeframes and measurable action steps along the way so that we can keep track of progress and make adjustments as necessary.
By setting goals and measuring and celebrating their achievements, students can see what they have done and are capable of achieving. Seeing their results gives them the confidence and assurance they need to believe they can achieve higher goals.
