Goal Setting is a must for me as an adult navigating my own life back into the real world post-Covid.  For our children, it is the same.  Being in the classroom the last year after a year of virtual, I realized that I needed to add goal setting to my classroom management.  I have come up with a couple of campaigns :  LEAD, PAW, DANCE since then.  Nonetheless, each campaign was part of my students' goal of living in my classroom during the school day.  It gave us a plan of focus in a world full of a billion options every moment of their life.  Goal setting allows a child to feel victory and self-efficacy in the learning process of real life.  For our 21st century students and children, it's important that we give directions with goal-setting in mind.  We have to be explicit what we want our children to accomplish in the spaces and time that we share together.  It compliments the relationship and strengthens it over time.
