Student Goals Timeline
The first step in the self-regulation cycle is setting goals collaboratively with students. Once established, the monitoring and implementing of strategies must take place. This allows teachers and students to collaborate during the learning process and adjust learning activities to assist students in achieving their goals. Collecting data, monitoring progress, and making instructional adjustments are the most significant pieces. Providing documented, specific feedback to the student on his or her progress is an integral component of communication with the student, family, and educational support staff.
Use the “Student Goals Timeline” template to create:
- A student-friendly timeline to visually represent the students progress in learning for one month
- A schedule to collaborate with the student to discuss progress towards the goals for one month
- Identified points when family collaboration will occur
- The final assessment that will be used to determine if the long-term and short-term goals were met through the planned learning activities.
In addition, write a 250-500 word rationale which includes the following:
- The importance of developing an organized, student-friendly method for documenting students goals and tracking progress
- How the timeline allows the student to analyze their assessment results and set goals for their future learning.
- How the timeline increases transparency for the students on their progress for the student, family, and educational support staff.
- Why assessment results should be used to adjust instructional elements to meet the individual needs of students
Support your findings with 1-2 scholarly resources.
