I consider the first day of school as a kind of academic \u201cnew year\u2019s day\u201d &#8211; a new class, a new curriculum and very often, new educational challenges await. Whether your child is starting junior kindergarten, grade 5 or grade 9, the first day back to school can be daunting! A good way to ease some stress about starting a new school year is to set some academic goals or targets at home before they hit the classroom.<\/p>\n<p> <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15813 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3295812\/Imported_Blog_Media\/Goals-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"goals-1\" width=\"798\" height=\"531\"><\/p>\n<p>Studies show that goal-setting can help kids gain a sense of self-discipline and increase the&nbsp;internal drive it takes to stay motivated to complete the tasks they have been assigned both in school and in everyday life. A goal is basically an outcome, something that will make a difference once achieved. It can\u2019t be too ambitious or else it will be unattainable, but also not so simple that it does not challenge the individual. A goal also has to be realistic, requiring effort and focus to achieve it.&nbsp;And research shows that discussing goal setting with students from an early age will encourage them to strive for more.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that kids, just like their parents, set goals or \u2018new school year\u2019s resolutions\u2019. Goal setting isn\u2019t just for grown-ups! According to <a href=\"http:\/\/micheleborba.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr.&nbsp;Michele Borba<\/a>, a bestselling author, TED Talks star and internationally recognized educator, even kids as young as <em>five years old<\/em> can benefit from goal setting. Some benefits include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>seeing&nbsp;your child start a school project\u2013without waiting until the last minute\u2013and finish it<\/li>\n<li>finding your child doing his chores\u2013without your nagging\u2013because he knows he has to do them in order to start on his homework<\/li>\n<li>discovering your child thinking through the jobs she needs to do for the week and making plans to complete them<\/li>\n<li>seeing your child\u2019s confidence grow as he\/she succeeds in the goals they have set for themself<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every September, I send a letter home with my students encouraging them to sit down with their parents to discuss some goals for the upcoming academic year. High school students often need to focus on upcoming exams and elementary\/primary students could be starting some good organizational habits plus developing their reading and writing skills. And the goals\/targets don\u2019t have to be merely focused on just education \u2013 they can be personal as well, for example, decreasing the number of lates to school, joining a sports team or reading one novel per month for example.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15814 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3295812\/Imported_Blog_Media\/Goals-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"goals-2\" width=\"798\" height=\"531\"><\/p>\n<p>Goal setting for kids doesn\u2019t have to be difficult either. Depending on your child\u2019s age, it could be as simple as \u201cI will ask at least five questions per day\u201d or \u201cI will aim to achieve a better participation mark in gym class\u201d. For younger&nbsp;students, it could even include starting to use a daily agenda or planner book to keep track of homework assignments and test dates. Organization is something a lot of my elementary-aged students struggle with so starting them early is good practice.<\/p>\n<p>I spent seven years as a secondary science and psychology teacher in London, England and I worked with&nbsp;my students to set SMART targets:<\/p>\n<p>S = Specific<br \/> M = Measurable<br \/> A = Attainable<br \/> R = Relevant, Rigorous, Realistic, and Results Focused<br \/> T = Timely and Trackable<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s not super easy to write SMART targets as it is a skill that takes time to develop, but for high school students who have their sights set on a competitive college or university education, getting them into the practice of setting more detailed and relevant goals is&nbsp;crucial!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Successful students are well organized, active learners who take responsibility for their education and set both personal and academic goals. As always, it is imperative that the parent-teacher-student trilogy is constantly in communication with each part so that the student is confident and proactive in&nbsp;their&nbsp;learning. Be sure to set some goals for your aspiring student today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we inch closer and closer to September and the start of a new school year, students may be starting to feel some anxiety about the academic challenges that lay ahead.
