Goal Setting Opportunity #1

Pair and share What is a Goal? What is their value?

A Goal is: …Something you want to try to do …Something you want to focus on …Something you try to accomplish

Why Set Goals? �Setting a goal helps a person “set a target” for where they want to end up. �Without a target, a person can get “off course” and never “get where they want to go!”.

Two Types of Goals �Short term goals can be achieved in a short period (week, month, year) of time and frequently lead to the achievement of a long term goal. (i. e. Improve my Spanish grade by studying vocabulary for 20 mins. each night. or Decrease the number of missing assignments by using my planner each day. ) �Long term goals are goals that require significantly more time for completion; they are typically more general, more labor intensive than short term goals. (i. e. Complete all the courses needed to apply to a 4 year college. )

“I Can’t Accept Not Trying” Michael Jordan �The famous basketball player Michael Jordan wrote about goal setting in his book, I Can’t Accept Not Trying: Michael Jordan on the Pursuit of Excellence �Michael approached everything step by step. . setting short-term goals.

Michael Jordan � “As I look back, each one of the steps or successes led to the next one. When I got cut from the varsity team as a sophomore in high school, I learned something. I knew I never wanted to feel that bad again. . So I set a goal of becoming a starter on the varsity. That’s what I focused on all summer. When I worked on my game, that’s what I thought about. When it happened, I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. . I guess I approached it with the end in mind. I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and I focused on getting there. As I reached those goals, they built on one another. I gained a little confidence every time I came through. “ I Can’t Accept Not Trying: Michael Jordan on the Pursuit of Excellence is published by Harper. San. Francisco, a division of Harper. Collins. Publishers (ISBN 0 -06 -25119)

Question for MJ �What would you want to ask him about his goal setting process?

Small Steps Michael Jordan � . . . If [your goal is to become a doctor]. . . and you’re getting Cs in biology then the first thing you have to do is get Bs in biology and then As. You have to perfect the first step and then move on to chemistry or physics. � Take those small steps. Otherwise you’re opening yourself up to all kinds of frustration. Where would your confidence come from if the only measure of success was becoming a doctor? If you tried as hard as you could and didn’t become a doctor, would that mean your whole life was a failure? Of course not. � All those steps are like pieces of a puzzle. They all come together to form a picture. . Not everyone is going to be the greatest. . But you can still be considered a success. . Step by step, I cant see any other way of accomplishing anything. I Can’t Accept Not Trying: Michael Jordan on the Pursuit of Excellence is published by Harper. San. Francisco, a division of Harper. Collins. Publishers (ISBN 0 -06 -25119)

SMART Goals

First Step to Setting a Goal �What are you aiming for? �“I want…. ”

What do you need to do to make it happen? ü I will…

Resources that are needed �Who will help? �What will you need?
