6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
We set goals everyday. When we get up in the morning, we make up
our minds that we are going to do a certain amount of things that
day. We make a plan in our heads of what we would like to do. This
is the how goal setting begins. |
|
|
B. Development-
Our dreams and wishes are the beginning ideas for goals. Some of
our dreams and wishes become goals and some remain dreams and wishes
and do not become real. In order for the dreams and wishes to come
true, they have to be both, very meaningful to us but also within
our power to achieve. |
|
|
C. Practice-
This is the time for you to think about your interests and the things
that you like to fill your day with at school, at home, with your
family, friends, with your dog, your neighbor, or by yourself? Do
you like to help others? Do you have a hobby? Do you like to play
sports? Express yourself using, markers, writing on paper, dictating
to staff, or being videotaped on the iPad. |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
Students will begin to report what things they did that day and
what things they would like to do the next day as a way to begin to
think about setting goals for the future. |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
Each student may choose the way that they feel compelled to express
themselves. |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Have a group discussion, with staff supporting and prompting as
needed, having students explaining and discussing what goals are in
their power of reaching and what goals are not in their power of reaching. |
|
|
G. Closure-
Explaining the importance of having goals to the students and giving
concrete examples of when having a goal makes a huge difference in
the way we live our lives and how we feel about ourselves. |
|
|

achieving goals increases self-esteem? Did student understand what
