Setting Learning Goals
Set a specific learning goal, work towards it with a deliberate plan, then honestly assess whether you achieved it and what you would change
Suggested ages 10–11
Evidence of understanding
- Set a specific, achievable learning goal for themselves — e.g. 'By Friday I want to know all my 7-times tables' rather than just 'get better at maths'
- Make a simple plan for how to reach their goal and follow through on it over several days
- After the deadline, honestly assess whether they achieved the goal and describe what they would do differently next time
Assessment prompt
Does Setting Learning Goals ever set themselves a specific learning goal — like 'I want to get better at times tables by the end of the week' — and then honestly judge whether they met it?
