  1. Making Goals And applying your goals to career planning

  2. Types of Goals Short Term Goals: are those objectives you plan to achieve within the near future. Long Term Goals: are those objectives you plan to achieve within the distant future.

  3. Advantages of Goal-Setting • It gives one something specific to aim for. • It provides a manner of achieving success in life, which results in feeling good about yourself. • It allows one to take charge of his/her life. • It allows one to take responsibility for his achievements and failures.

  4. Effective Goal-Setting • Goals should be realistic and reachable. For example if you experience considerable difficulty in Science today, you will likely not choose to become a research scientist. • Goal should be specific. For example: state that you plan to achieve 75% on the Social exam, rather than just “do well” • Goals should be flexible. Don’t give up if you do not reach your goal as planned; try again by modifying the approach or the goal statement. • Goals are things you can achieve on your own, not things that are dependent on others for success.

  5. Set Your Own Short-Term Goal • Your task is to set a short-term goal, using what you’ve learned about goal-setting. • Your goal must be set TODAY and it must be met by the last day of the health unit ( November 29th ) • You will be graded on the following: • How realistic and reachable is your goal? • How specific is your goal? How can you measure it? • Was your goal met? If not, what modifications have you made to reach it? • What plans have you made to build on what you’ve accomplished? Make your short-term goal a long-term one.

  6. Mr. Urbani’s short-term goal • Between now and November 29th, I plan on increasing my level of physical activity. • To achieve this goal, I will be hitting the gym3 days/week. In addition to this, I also plan to continue playing hockey once/week and going for a long walk once/week. • Schedule • Hockey: Monday nights 9:30-10:45 • Gym: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 8:30-10:00 • Walks: one of Friday, Saturday or Sunday, for 40 minutes probably right after nap time (around2:00-3:00). • Flexibility: • long walks revolve around many variables, but if it hasn’t happened by Sunday night, I will head over to the gym after I put the kids to bed. • If I have to miss a day at the gym, I can go on the weekend at nap time. • Hockey is non-negotiable

  7. Interests, Abilities, Aptitudes An important first step in career planning is to develop a greater awareness and understanding of oneself.
