Polling Station As you enter the classroom, vote at each of the polling stations by writing a tally mark on the white board.

Polling Station #1 How many of you want to get to know more students before the next school year starts?

Polling Station #2 How many of you want to learn more about technology so that you will be more prepared for secondary school?

Polling Station #3 How many of you want to go to college or university after graduating from high school?

Polling Station #4 How many of you have an idea what type of career you would like to have later on in life?

 Polling Station  Goals – What are they?  Goals Mind Web  Goals Reflection  So What?

After today’s lesson, you will understand that in order to achieve your long term goals, you must first set short term goals that are measurable and attainable.

What are goals?  Something you want to achieve  Goals are usually very specific  You can quantify them in time  They are realistic  If you try hard enough you can accomplish them

SMART Goals This is the model to follow for all goals!

Goals Do you think if you want to be a plumber and go to college that is your goal for high school?

 Think of your goals as a spectrum over time  If you want to achieve your long term goals, you first have to set short and medium term goals  Very similar to a ladder, goals build or scaffold one on top of the other Short Term GoalsMedium Term GoalsLong Term Goals

Short Term Goals – Ex. Do well in my classes in Grade 9 Medium Term Goals – Ex. Be part of at least two co-curricular groups before I graduate Long Term Goals – Ex. Graduate from high school and go to college/university

 In order to get to where we want to be in the future we need to set goals  Goals should follow the SMART model – if we cannot quantify or measure our goals they are difficult to achieve  Goals follow a linear time frame – we need to set and achieve our short term goals first to reach our medium term goals, which in turn will allow us to reach our long term goals
