You can do this during Rotational or Choice IF, or during Advisory.

15. Creating Goals in the Learner Profile Choose the type of goal to create. Choose the appropriate length of time to achieve your goal. Set a deadline to meet your goal. Add some details about your goal. Be as specific as possible. For instance, instead of writing “I want to pass Science,” write “I want to pass Science with an 80% or higher, and earn A’s on all of my projects.”

17. Adding Action Steps to a Goal Add a start date, due date, and title of the specific task/action step. • Add some details about specific steps you’ll take to achieve your goal. Be as specific as possible. For instance, instead of writing “I will complete my first project,” write all of the specific steps you will take to complete your first project. • Choose a topic. • Research my topic during Rotational IF. • Write my first draft of the research paper. • Collaborate with other students to create a visual. • Revise the draft of research paper. • Revise visual presentation. • Present findings to the class. • Reflect on the process of creating the project.
