How do you set clear goals for students and parents?

To understand your purpose or want to set goals you need to understand yourself. I say this because when one communicates to help another individual they will find that their goals become part of their vision. The purpose that we have becomes glorified within our own eyes. To help go beyond what we were expected to do and produce a result that satisfies what we want to truly accomplish in life. That is finding or to understand your purpose

I never really understood the steps to take to have a clear goal. Alternatively what did help was to keep a journal and note down before doing anything i.e. Meeting, asking questions, contributing, or writing about a topic. So far you can see that I am contributing my thoughts but involving or providing an opportunity to the parent to aid the student. To build trust and take ownership of the task they do. This is how one can get involved and not have a worry about who will judge your views but see the light that you hold. Your journal is the starting and there is no end!

I would be stubborn to set my calendar or adapt to technology but as I changed my mindset it allowed me to use the technology and grow. What Do I Mean? You are someone who is struggling to handle different situations, work on time, or understand which task is important that is because you do not have a set structure to follow. Once you change your thoughts it allows you to be specific, measure, and be relevant to what needs to be done. That is why is valuable to have a useful framework. Success is their trust me!

If you find you made a mistake do the following: 1) Ask why did you do that 2) Ask yourself did it relates to what was needed 3) Ask a friend who can suggest their thoughts The three bullet points help to have a picture of what can be improved upon and the methods for what more can be done. Communicating is not simple but complicated. Guidance is what you need to help reinforce your statement and tick off key tasks. That is why one would take advice it helped me and until now it helps be clear with the message!

When you feel you are not getting it right. Try not to worry too much, experiment, and adjust to what you are satisfied with. If you do a task and it repeats then you can see it being done right and liked by someone else. If you do it and there is no direction then you can review your content and ask to see what points can be modified to help reach your goals. If I am unsure of a task and still confused, I reflect on it and see what methods can work for me. When you adjust it becomes your tool but helps have the certainty of what more can be done to have success going forward!

Goal setting is organic and collaborative. Targets need to be created and the process, including accountability, co sternly evaluated. Each stakeholder needs to contribute insight along the way while keeping in mind the overall reason for the work: helping the student to enjoy success. And part of that is creating the framework for the student to be successful on their own.

I think that the goals need to be set by students themselves, with the help of parents and support of academic teams. Students must set out their own goals because only then they will truly feel motivated and want to achieve them. Parents can help and keep them on track and educators may give feedback and support them. But ultimately it is the student's skill that needs to be learned, perfected and reflected upon. Goal setting is a very important skill and goal setting lessons should be incorporated in the curriculum early on.
