    Hi Everyone,

    Its been a smooth but busy start to the term. The excited 3/4s

    headed off this morning on their excursion to Sovereign Hill. I hope

    they find lots of gold! Bouncing Banksia celebrated 100 days at

    school.

    All students are busy setting learning goals and these will come home

    with term planners next week. Personal learning goals are about

    improving students learning and achievement and building students

    capacity to learn.

    They are about students becoming active participants in the learning

    process, empowering them to become independent learners, and

    motivating them to achieve their full potential.

    Students who set their own learning goals have more confidence to

    take on more challenging tasks, regardless of their ability. Their

    motivation to improve and master a task is improved and their

    self-esteem remains strong, even in the case of failure.When students are assisted to delve into their own thinking and

    learning processes, they are drawn to think about the effectiveness of

    the strategies they used to achieve the learning goals they set.

    Planning what to do, monitoring progress towards achieving it and

    evaluating the outcome can help students take more control over

    their thinking and learning processes and equip them with learning to

    learn skills.

    The process of developing, monitoring and reporting on a students

    personal learning goals involves conversations about learning

    between the student and their teacher. Conversations about learning

    encourage students to think about:

    their own learning and thinking processes and challenge them

    to articulate the way they have gone about learning

    what their next steps might be

    how they are going to proceed with those next steps

    how they are going to know they have achieved success

    whether or not the method of learning was effective

    what they need more help to understand

    how they might achieve better understanding.

    Students come to understand that the process of setting learning

    goals is a key part of their learning. Effective personal learning goals

    are those that are personally important to the student, can be

    attained through the students own planned actions and have a

    reasonable chance of being achieved in a set time frame (e.g. a

    term or semester).Students are supported to set goals that answer these questions:

    How will I succeed in this goal?

    What do I need to learn?

    Why will this help my learning?

    What actions should I take to help achieve this goal?

    How will I know I have achieved this goal?

    What do I need to do next?

    It is important that students develop a sense of personal ownership of

    their learning goals. It is also important that parents discuss this

    process and the goals set so that everyone is working to support

    our students achieving and thriving.
