Goal Setting:



Goal Setting:Goal setting is one of the critical aspects of advisory. There are two types of goal setting which will occur in advisory. The first is academic goal setting. The intention of academic goal setting is to show students that success in any field requires goal setting. Some students do this naturally. Many need to be required to set goals so that goal setting will become an inherent part of their academic careers. Please give some examples of academic goals. As with all goals, academic goals can be short term (the quarter), medium term (the semester) or long term (the year). Please explain that there should be some evidence of all three types of goals.Examples of academic goals are:making honour roll for first semestergetting all work in on timewriting college essays by November 15thgraduating in Junewriting down assignments every nighttaking courses that will support long term academic interestsEach advisor will use advisory time for students to set at least three academic goals by Friday, September 14th. Please secure Goals in an electronic advisory file that you create for your advisees.The second type of goal setting is personal goal setting. Personal goal settings follows a similar process as academic goal setting, but are related to the non-academic sphere of your advisees. As with academic goal setting students need to recognize that personal successes are the result of goal setting. For example, a bike license doesn’t just appear when you turn sixteen. There needs to be planning and goal setting to earn a bike license.Examples of personal goals are:enrolling in a dance or karate classgetting a weekend jobrunning 4 days a weeknot watching more than 7 hours of TV a weekEach advisor will use advisory time for students to set at least three personal goals by Friday, September 18th. Goals will be stored in the advisory file as well.Goal setting can be achieved by using either the following goal setting sheet or by devising your own goal setting mechanism, however they must be articulated and the articulated goals must be in located in advisee files.Reviewing goals: At least once a quarter, advisors will set aside advisory time to review progress on academic and personal goals. You may devise your own format or use the following format: How are you progressing on your goals? What are the challenges you have encountered in achieving your goals? What are some ways you can overcome your challenges? Does your goal need to be modified? If so, please rewrite your modified goal.Advisory Programme Goal Setting SheetThink about your academic career in terms of this quarter, this year, and for your four years at The Berkeley Institute.
