1. Students should set their own goals so they are personal. These goals should be academic, behavior, character traits, a sport or hobby or something at home.
2. Goals should be transferrable from school to home. Parents need to be able to support those goals at home.

After reading this section, I now see goals as personal challenges. Usually when we tell students to set goals they groan. However, when you make it a one-on-one conversation and ask questions that will motivate them to problem solve, they will put in the work and effort to achieve a personal goal.

When meeting with students or parents, goals are the heart of the convo. Share progress, and assess. If goals were not met, problem solve for next time.

#2 I like the approaches Emerging Leader Kevin Parr explored. He mentions the strategies should be student led. Giving the students a chance to go expand their options, getting the parent in on goal setting. The passage also mentions how the students should be held responsible for their progress.

Goal setting should be kid friendly and should help students understand and be motivated to work on their own. They should have ownership and the goal should be easily measured by their own self

I can see how involving students in goal setting could make I.E.P.s even more collaborative and meaningful as the student would be an active member of the team and would be ,more "invested" in the goal and objective setting portion of the I.E.P.  Greater accountability and responsibility for the student, not just the teacher.

Goal setting helps students to be more aware of the learning that they are expected to experience- rather than just looking at a grade on an assignment without little thought about the learning that occurred.
Goals should be personal and differentiated for each child.

Three keys:
- Expanding goal-setting options
- Allowing the goal to go into home life in order for students to realize it's important.
- Evaluating their progress

I like the acronym GOAL....

I have previously only focused on academic goal setting except for a few children on behavior plans. I like the idea of "expanding the options."
