  2. Why do we set goals? How effective is your current method of goal setting?

  3. Life Goals- Training Objectives

  4. The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.Denis Watley

  5. Method 1 – GPA Handout pg 3-4 • G – Describe your goal. • P – Explain your plan to achieve your goal. • A – List the action steps to achieve your goal. Method found in: Strategies for Success: Student Activity 9.1 and in AVID College and Careers

  8. SMARTGoals Specific What are you going to do? Why is it important? What do you want to ultimately accomplish? How are you going to do it? Goals should be clear and easily understood. General Goal: Get in shape. Specific Goal: Join a health club and workout 3 days a week.

  9. SMARTGoals Measurable If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress. Ask yourself, “How will I know when my goal is accomplished?”

  10. SMARTGoals Action Oriented What are you going to do to accomplish your goal? Use action words such as direct, organize, develop, build, etc. Sometimes, the A is Attainable. Goals have to be achievable; however, they must also be enough of a stretch or challenge so there is a feeling of accomplishment.

  11. SMARTGoals Realistic The goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. Set the bar high enough for a satisfying achievement.

  12. SMARTGoals Timely A goal should be grounded within a time frame. Without time, there is no sense of urgency; the commitment is too vague.

  13. Method 2SMARTGoals • Specific • Measurable • Action Oriented • Realistic • Timely From: AVID Elementary curriculum

  14. GPA / SMARTGoals Practice writing goals, based on what you’ve learned in the training today: • One goal for yourself • One goal for your students • Pair/Share with elbow partner.

  15. Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.Paul Meyer

  16. Procrastination “Procrastination is the thief of time.” Edward Young (1683-1765) How do we help students combat Procrastination?

  17. Procrastination Steps to the Cure • Realize you are delaying something unnecessarily. • Discover the real reasons for your delay. List them. • Dispute those real reasons by writing Positive Reactions and overcome them. Be vigorous. • Begin the task. p. 134 Student Success

  18. You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.Steve Garvey
