I haven’t yet read the book, Goal Setting For Students, but found their website that offers free information for parents to work with their children in school and in homeschool settings. Although the site is a promotion for the book, there are valuable resources included.

SMART stands for:

S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Realistic
T = Timely

This is related to making goals with students and can be used for parents and teachers. With my children, getting school work, projects, homework and studying for tests was and is always easier when I was able to assist them to recognize what they were trying to accomplish first. Then break it down into steps. Check off what is done and complete the goal.

This Goal Setting Form can get you and your child on the right track. Find more tools for free from Goal Setting For Students. Don’t forget to check out their blog and resources.
