7. www.tie.net Annette grouped teachers as 1’s, 2’s, 3’s. We want to be 3’s We want our kids to be 3’s 1’s Don’t do much teaching Spend the majority of their time complaining Rarely smile Have lots of management problems Uses all teacher directed activities Have an aversion to change Supports an I don’t care attitude Don’t particularly like kids.

14. People who succeed have goals, and people with goals succeed.

15. We have to teach them to believe in themselves, because without that belief, they aren’t likely to achieve their goals. In order to achieve, you must first believe.

16. First, make sure students know what a goal is. Ask students to volunteer goals they or their friends have set for themselves in the past. List their ideas on the board, and discuss the difference between long-term and short-term goals. Short-term goals might include: reading a difficult book, earning a perfect score on a spelling test, not yelling out when others are talking, or arriving at school on time each day for a month.

17. Long-term goals could include: goals for the school year, earning a scholarship to college, or dreams about future careers. You may want to visit about people who students can relate to that have had goals and been successful. Brainstorm Academic goals at school are directly related to students knowing the ‘target’ – where they are headed.

18. www.tie.net Have students review their plans each day or at certain times. Interact with each student about their goal and their progress. Help students make smaller steps to attain their goal if needed.

19. www.tie.net Different from adult goals. When you’ve found out what each student wants to achieve, help them identify the steps required to get there and in particular, ask them what is the first thing they need to do to progress towards this goal. By doing this, you are starting the set the framework for goal setting for kids. Keep at it!

29. www.tie.net For many students there is a discrepancy between who they are and who they want to become… it can be motivating if students think they can change. if they can make connections between the present and the future. …or devastating if students don’t think they can change if they are too focused on the present.

Grades 3-6 Grades 7-9 Grades 10-12
