How to teach the Goal Setting Process

Every year I find myself trying to figure out a good way to show students how to set goals, why it's important to do so, and how tracking the goals fits into all this. Oh and did I mention I am trying to do this with Kindergarten through fifth graders?!! It's seemingly impossible. Or so I thought. I THINK I have found a way to do this without totally confusing them, and make it entertaining as well! It's going to require you to look a little silly, so be warned! I got some helpf rom a great resource, Teaching and Tapas, on Teachers Pay Teachers. I really like the goal setting worksheet she has because it includes the action plan! Click HERE for the complete lesson plan I developed to help teach Goal Setting. I would LOVE to hear your feedback!
