Goals For Students
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.

“Good goals are important for anything”
Comment by spygrrl This sounds really interesting. I think parents sometimes find it hard to help their children with their homework.

Sounds like an excellent tool for students (and their parents), thanks! I’ll be heading over to see if it applies to “school age” and/or “college age.” Keeping any and all students on track is a great idea!
