  1. 6th Grade PEP Goal Setting

  2. Overview • Introduce long-term goals and short-term goals or pathways to achieving goals • Learn 6 keys to achieving your goals • Learn to write SMART goals • Identify and overcome barriers

  3. People who reached their goals

  4. Goal Setting Activity • Cut out and distribute goal setting prompts to students. When I grow up… Ten years in the future… When I am in high school… When I am in college… My dream job is… • Instruct students to complete the goal setting prompt (5 min)

  5. Goal Setting Activity • Directions: • Switch goals with the person next to you. • Read the new goal you have been given. • Reflection Questions: • What do you think of this new goal? • Do you think you will accomplish this goal? • Why or why not? • Directions • Switch back so you have your original goal.

  6. Keys to achieving your goals #1 Your goal(s) must be important to YOU! • It must be YOUR goal, NOT your friend’s, parent’s teacher’s goal. • These people can support you, but you must have the desire and be willing to put in the effort • POINT: Don't let anyone else write your story. You make your goals and be in charge of reaching them! Don’t let distractions like drugs, friends, poor school work take over your story.

  7. Keys to achieving your goals #2 Use strategies to stay focused on your goal(s)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtb5GDkJTig • Directions: • Write down your long-term vision or goal on your goal worksheet • Write down at least 8 reasons why you want to accomplish this goal

  8. Keys to achieving your goals #3 Create clear steps or pathways to reach your goal(s)! • Short-term goals and pathways provide a roadmap to make dreams happen. • They help take us from one point to the next.

  15. Keys to achieving your goals #6 Anticipate obstacles and create new pathways when set-backs occur! • Use you worksheet to brainstorm barriers or obstacles to achieving your goal. • Watch video clip of Famous Failures • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLYECIjmnQs • Discussion Questions: • How to you respond to set-back or failure? • How do you hope to respond in the future? • Use your worksheet to brainstorm new pathways (or strategies) to overcome these obstacles.

GOAL + Pathway + Motivation = HOPE • People who regularly set goals and pathways tend to… • Set learning-based goals within their reach (NOT performance-based goals that may be outside their control) • Have internal desire to learn new skills and master new tasks • Track progress and increase effort with failure or setback • Create new paths to goals when face obstacles or barriers • Use positive self-talk (e.g. “Keep going!” “You can get this done.”) • Receive higher scores on achievement tests, higher overall grade point averages, and higher graduation rates, even when controlling for intelligence • Have self-esteem, confidence, and perceived problem-solving abilities and sense of control • Have less anxiety Snyder, C.R., Shorey, H.S., Cheavens, J., Pulvers, K.M., Adams, V.H., and Wiklund, C.
