    Q2: Do you set goals or resolutions as a class? #4thchat
  • ncarrollDLC Jan 21 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A1: Yes - One goal is create resources for teachers in the area of Digital Citizenship. It needs to be something that is easy to navigate & quick to look at. #4thchat
  • JennRegruth - Moderator Jan 21 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2: I do remind the kids to think of the new semester/year as a fresh start. We talk about if they are happy with grades/how things went and what will they keep the same or change. #4thchat
  • mrsreedsclass14 Jan 21 @ 8:16 PM EST

    A3: I think it’s important to set goals as a class and individually. This can help emphasize the team/family aspect of being a class, but also the aspect of being a student and individual. #4thchat

    I like the reflection part - helpful to set goals after we reflect on the things that have gone well or where we've been successful! Can bring that into the classroom too! #4thchat

    Q4: How do you help them understand short term and long term goals/resolutions? #4thchat
  • JennRegruth - Moderator Jan 21 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A4: I learned through a @ClassroomChamps lesson to explain to the kids that you can use short term goals as steps to your long term goal! #4thchat
  • ncarrollDLC Jan 21 @ 8:24 PM EST
    Thank you Jerry!! This is a page that could be used consistently throughout the year!!!! We should always be setting goals. :) #4thchat

  • mrsreedsclass14 Jan 21 @ 8:25 PM EST
    A4 short term is something they can accomplish within a month or less. Long term focuses more on a end result and planning backyard step by step to achieve it. #4thchat short term goals can build into long term.
    In reply to @JennRegruth
  • downrightdave Jan 21 @ 8:25 PM EST
    If you don't check on them consistently, they are unlikely to happen. #4thchat
    In reply to @ncarrollDLC, @cybraryman1
  • ncarrollDLC Jan 21 @ 8:27 PM EST
    A3: I like having students share their goals with their classmates (if they feel comfortable). It gives others an idea of the variety of goals that can be set (esp if they are having difficulty trying to think of some). #4thchat Plus if you say it out loud, you often follow thru
  • wong_heaven Jan 21 @ 8:27 PM EST
    Love this! Definitely something i use in my own life and want implement in the classroom. How do students respond to the idea of short term goals as steps to a long term goal? #4thchat
    In reply to @JennRegruth, @ClassroomChamps

    Hello @ElisaW5 - how are you doing? #4thchat
  • ncarrollDLC Jan 21 @ 8:27 PM EST
    Important for students to see that growth and relate it to their goals. #4thchat
    In reply to @mrsreedsclass14, @JennRegruth
  • JennRegruth - Moderator Jan 21 @ 8:28 PM EST
    It made so much sense to them! I made an organizer that had the long term goal at the end and three spots for short term goals. It took some practice, but they loved it! I will look for it! #4thchat
    In reply to @wong_heaven, @ClassroomChamps
  • downrightdave Jan 21 @ 8:28 PM EST
    I've always tried really hard to give students ownership of their data, where they are, and a clear plan on how to get to where they need to be. Without that vision it's hard to get anywhere. #4thchat

  • wong_heaven Jan 21 @ 8:31 PM EST
    A4: I can imagine short term goals being pieces of a puzzle, when all the pieces come together, we’ll be in a great position to accomplish our long term goals #4thchat
    In reply to @JennRegruth
  • ncarrollDLC Jan 21 @ 8:32 PM EST
    I used to talk to my students about setting goals and thinking about a ladder...smaller goals are the rungs and the long term goal was the top of the ladder. #4thchat (I thought the visual helped or hope it did).

    Q5: How can you guide/inspire kids to look at things realistically? #4thchat
  • ElisaW5 Jan 21 @ 8:34 PM EST
    This is great. Can you give an example of 4 short term goals leading to a long term goal? Did you start w/the long term goal and then moved to short term goals to get there? Or was it the other way around? TY 4 sharing! #4thchat
    In reply to @JennRegruth, @wong_heaven, @ClassroomChamps
  • JennRegruth - Moderator Jan 21 @ 8:34 PM EST
    A5: Definitely remind them about growth mindset, and moving toward their goal is important too. We also discuss modifying our goals if needed. #4thchat
  • ncarrollDLC Jan 21 @ 8:34 PM EST
    I think creating goals takes practice...it's not an easy task for 10 year olds. Lots of brainstorming and talking about goals helps. #4thchat
    In reply to @JennRegruth, @wong_heaven, @ClassroomChamps

  • mrsreedsclass14 Jan 21 @ 8:35 PM EST
    A5:I think you have to give them examples in order to see what’s possible. Also using the SMART goal method puts everything within reach for them. #4thchat

    We started with a measurable long term goal-like knowing 20 multiplication facts in under one minute. Then we thought of starting with 5, practicing so many minutes a day, etc. If you remind me I will look it up and post! #4thchat

    A5: Something I’d want to remind my Ss is that their goals are not set in stone. Goals can be modified or altered. This is reality. Things don’t go perfectly or always how we want, so we can help each other figure out the best goals. #4thchat

    Each class works w/a trickster 2 develop a short play around a topic relating 2 a broader school theme. There’s a lot of movement and improv along the way to developing a final piece. In March, grades 4 & 5 will be doing process oriented work. #4thchat

  • ElisaW5 Jan 21 @ 8:41 PM EST
    Makes sense. I think having the Ss set a deadline of sorts helps them stay focused. Also, it sounds like once they have the 4 short-term goals, they can think about a broader goal that encompasses all of them. Thank you. #4thchat

    A5: I might ask students, "How can you track your progress towards that particular goal?" Can it be using a chart with stickers? If using a vision board - they can add slides showing completion. #4thchat

    A7: Give examples of yourself and your goals, struggles, etc. Let me know it's okay to keep trying and persevere! #4thchat

    A7 Great question. Create accountability circles that continuously check in with and gain feedback. Also teach others to critique action as well as encourage #4thchat

    A5: Using a tool like @Seesaw - students might be able to record/photo/write about how they are progressing towards their goals. In this way it is a record they can look back upon. #4thchat

    Being able to measure your goal is so important. If students just say "get better at math," they will never know. If they say answer 20 math facts in under 60 seconds, they can see progress. #4thchat

    I think creating goals using some of that S M A R T anachronym will help making the goals more meaningful. #4thchat

    If you are going to do it with students make sure you are consistent with them. Create time dedicated to goals and resolutions. Don’t skimp. Make it habit. #4thchat

    A8: I have learned so much about goal setting through my @ClassroomChamps mentor athletes. They have each taught my students and I different ways to plan and accomplish goals. So thankful for them. #4thchat

    A7 For that 2 happen, Ts have 2 designate time 4 kids 2 talk w/each other, share successes & tips. It can’t be in the 5 mins in between classes or transitions. There have 2 be at least 10 -15 mins once during the week to do this work. If it’s imp, we’ll find the time. #4thchat
