Communicating Weekly Goals or Targets

Communicating weekly and/or daily goals is one of the most effective strategies we use to engage students in their own learning.  Writing weekly goals has become routine for teachers at Paine Intermediate.  This practice assures that we are all on the "same page" regarding what students are supposed to know or be able to do.  When we communicate these goals to students, they are better able to reach the targets we set.  It is not easy to reach a target when we don't know what the target is!
