Setting Goals For School Success
Having goals is important in everyday life—it helps give a sense of direction and purpose, and it sets bars by which we can navigate almost everything that we do. While there are many opportunities to set goals, nowhere is goal-setting more important than setting goals for school success.
Setting academic goals can be challenging for students—most students merely exist from day to day, from test to test, project to project without much thought to where they are going or where they currently are. This is not surprising as skills such as time management, organization, and goal setting are not generally focused on in school.
