Goal-setting skills
Goal-setting skills include the various skills and activities designed to help students set and achieve their goals. These include building a goal hierarchy, use of action plans, and thinking strategically about school, as well as the use of storyboarding and backwards scheduling.
Why focus on skills? Skills are the building blocks of change. They are manageable in that you can learn one or two skills at a time. They are relatively easy to acquire (although harder to master) in that you can practice them every day. And they are scalable in that you can teach skills to one or two people or entire classrooms at a time.
