Specific: You should target a specific subject area, grade level, and student
population. Provide enough detail so there is no indecision as to what
exactly you should be doing when the time comes to do it. A goal of:
Study biology is poor. Should you be reading your text? If so, what
pages? Or should you be looking over your lecture notes? A much better
goal would be: Read pp. 12-35 in biology text, write questions in the
margin of text, and practice answering those questions after reading.

Final Goal:
My final goal is to pass my end of unit test with a 90% or higher my doing extra credit, coming to seminar, and
taking good notes. I can monitor my progress by quizzing myself throughout the unit and monitoring my test at
the end of the unit. I will need to be 100 % focused in order to achieve my goal. I will need my notebook, my
classmates, and Ms. Gordons help. The goal will require a lot of effort in order to achieve my goal.
If I achieve my goal, then my entire grade will go up as well as improve from the last test. The deadline is the
day of the last unit and the day of the test. I have more than enough time to achieve this goal.
