GOAL SETTING
A major focus of our school this year is to develop our ability to set SMART goals. We want our children to be actively involved in the process of reflecting upon their work, and critical feedback from peers and staff, to set achievable, relevant and challenging goals. In particular, we will be encouraging students to develop goals in writing and numeracy but goalsetting will occur in all subjects throughout the year. Setting goals is a valuable way for students to build confidence, aim and achieve and learn in incremental steps through careful skill development. Staff will work closely with students to help them develop SMART goals throughout the year.
As we have been working with students, some have suggested that they would be keen to set goals in other parts of their life, such as in sport and at home. The poster below may help families better understand how we are setting goals at school.
