Student Goal Setting Sheets with Teacher Directions

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Two versions of the same student goal-setting sheet ask students to record four goals: a target final grade, a maximum number of late assignments, a self-chosen goal of their own, and an optional fourth goal the teacher adds during a conference. One version comes with goals #1 and #2 already worded and blank lines for specific action steps; the other leaves every goal blank so a teacher can customize the wording entirely. Each sheet ends with a student-signature line (with a note that parents may also sign) meant to formalize the goals as a commitment. Teacher directions included in the file outline a three-step process — distribute the sheet (on paper or via Google Classroom), collect the signed sheets, and hold an individual meeting with each student to discuss and revisit the goals throughout the year.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Set a specific, measurable academic goal (target grade, late-assignment limit) for the class.
Identify concrete action steps needed to achieve a stated personal goal.
Formally commit to a set of personal goals through a signed agreement.

Teaching tips

Distribute the sheet in print or assign the digital version through Google Classroom, per the included directions.
Hold an individual meeting with each student after collecting the sheets to discuss their goals rather than only collecting them silently.
Choose the version with goals #1-2 pre-worded for younger students and the fully blank version when you want students to set entirely their own goals.
Revisit the signed goal sheets at later grade checks throughout the year, as the directions suggest, rather than filing them away permanently.

Skills covered

Goal-setting — students articulate specific academic and personal goals (grades, attendance, behavior) with concrete action steps.
Self-accountability — students sign a written commitment statement tied to their stated goals.
