Lesson Plan

Teacher Guide SMART Goals

Students will craft a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound micro-goal for the week, break it into two actionable steps, and schedule one accountability check.

Setting small, concrete goals builds student motivation and confidence, establishes productive habits, and gives them a clear path to track progress and follow through.
