Learning Launchpad Lesson Plan
Students will set SMART academic and personal goals, create a weekly time-management plan, and engage in guided self-reflection to build ownership of their learning habits.
Equipping special education students with goal-setting, time-management, and reflection skills at the start of the year fosters independence, confidence, and self-advocacy, leading to improved engagement and academic success.
