Lesson plans to teach students how to set a goal and create a vision board.
January 2008 has arrived and I am busily looking over my 2007 goals. With a pink highlighter, I highlight all of my successes and smile at some of the goals that I never thought would be accomplished. My goals are organized under categories to ensure I have a balanced life, otherwise my career or financial health might take too much time from my other pursuits.
Setting goals is a difficult task and it has taken me several years to learn how to write a goal. My education on goal writing has been via workshops, research, and books. Looking back on my education, I would have appreciated a teacher outlining the steps to write a goal; as it may have kept me more focused.
A lesson or two on goal setting can be short and students may create a vision board when work is complete. As well, it can be implemented into a language or art activity. Setting goals for kids is an excellent tool for self discovery.
In addition, the teacher may have student create goals for the class to illustrate the examples of setting goals or making a vision board.
