As beginning of year assessments and progress reports have been completed, teachers would have in mind areas of development that each student can work on for the year ahead. Therefore, we would like to begin working with our students to develop some goals for them to work through during the year. These goals will be shared with parents in the coming weeks. Later in the year, students will also have time to reflect on the progress of their goals during the Student Led Conferences.

 

Student Goal Setting

Please see our guidelines below. Year Level Leaders, a reminder to please add this agenda item to your meeting this week. Please go through the Student Goals sheet and discuss and share ways in which teachers can assist students to keep track of their goals, and ensure that they are not put away and forgotten about. Some successful ideas would be great to share.

  • Teachers and students work together to set goals commencing Week 9.
  •  Students in lower Primary may need assistance selecting goals, while upper Primary should be able to do this on their own.
  • Students will be asked to set academic goal(s) from any subject area and a separate goal for ‘Helping Hands’. Upper years only will also include a Gobal Goal.
  • Goals are to be shared with parents no later than November 4. If teams wish to share these goals at Parent Teacher Interviews, please feel free to do so however, this is a decision the whole year level needs to make. Once these are completed, a copy can go home for children to share with parents. The original can be placed into the individual student portfolios and upper years the digital portfolios.
  • Year 1: No goals for Semester 1. These will be set in Semester 2A.
  • Year 2-3: 2 goals  (1 academic goal & 1 Helping Hands goal).
  • Year 4-6: 3 goals (1 to 2 academic goal & 1 Helping Hands goal, 1 global goal.)
