People who succeed have goals, and people with
goals succeed.
Goal Setting 101from Education Week
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.
Getting Goal Setting Started
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.
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.
Goals
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.
www.tie.net
Student goalsDifferent 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!

Consider the Student Response to Assessment
Productive Response to
Results
I understand these resultsI know what I need to do nextI’m OK I choose to keep trying
Counterproductive
Response to Results
I don’t understandI have no idea what to do nextI’m no good at this stuff anywayI give up
Stiggins, R. (2008)

Moving From the Actual to the Ideal
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 changeif they are too focused on the present.

Assessment FOR Learning!

Student Involvement
Assessment is not something that is done to students separate and apart from instruction; assessment must be – and must be seen to be – something that is done with students as an integral part of the learning process.

Popham & Stiggins: Teachers who currently implement Assessment FOR Learning (AFL) have no systematic way of determining the affective impact of this approach on their students.
In an effort to provide teachers with tools for tracking students’ affect related to AFL, Stiggins and Popham have developed an affective inventory to determine the impact of teacher’s instruction on those affective dispositions most likely to be influenced by an Assessment FOR Learning approach.

1. Multiply the score (1-5) by its frequency2. Add the resulting calculations across scores3. Divide by the # of students responding Question #1
10 Students
4 students X 5 = 203 students X 4 = 121 students X 3 = 32 students X 2 = 40 students X 1 = 0
Total score = 39

Nobody cares what we teach --- notour principals, our superintendents, or
our legislative bodies. No one. In fact… what we teach is irrelevant.
It’s what our students learn after theirtime with us that matters.
