Product description

From the author

Students identify classroom goals and list actions that can help them work toward them. Two PDF templates offer pre-worded grade and late-assignment targets or open goal lines, plus an optional teacher goal and student signature.

The directions suggest collecting the sheets, holding individual goal-setting conversations and revisiting goals during the year. Adapt the targets and support to the student; the resource does not establish a guaranteed learning outcome.

In the classroom

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 PDF in print, or prepare a way to annotate it electronically before sharing through Google Classroom. No native editable digital template is included.

  • Choose the pre-worded version for grade and late-assignment targets, or the open version when students need different 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.
