Growth Mindset and Setting Goals 2
It is important to set goals early in the year to establish a pathway to success. Goal setting can help you develop and maintain motivation and give you a long-term vision. Setting goals for academic success can help you have a happier home life, feel better about yourself and help you on your way to finding a fulfilling career when you are older.
Set personal goals for the rest of this term.
Start to think about what you want to achieve this term. Consider goals for your overall schooling and individual subjects. There might be some subjects that you really love and you might set some very challenging goals for those subjects. Some subjects you might find a bit challenging. In this case you might set goals that help you to engage with the subject, to catch up on it, to get a little bit better at it or start to enjoy it.

How to set a personal learning goal
Try to think of a learning goal that relates to the subject and is fairly specific. Make sure that it is something that is realistic and achievable, but also something that will still challenge you. Ensure that it is something that you will be able to manage to do in a term, but that you can start to work towards straight away.
You may like to start by looking at the course outline and assessment schedule for your subject. These may help you think of goals for the term.
For each of your subjects consider what are you good at, what do you need to improve and what could be a goal for that subject?
