Target Audience: preK - Grade 6 teachers, educational assistants, parents, administrators and guidance councesllors are encourage to attend.

We envision our learners growing into empowered, lifelong learners who embrace a growth mindset to tackle life’s challenges. For this journey to develop and grow, students require guidance on how to set effective goals, identify actions to achieve their goal and monitor their progress. This session will begin with the ‘why’ student goal setting is valuable and impactful, followed by the HOW to foster this important goal setting routine and mindset in students of all grade levels. Participants will leave the session with a simple weekly class process that will have your students setting and monitoring their own goals, and self-regulation, in no time.
