Growth Mindset Goals for Students

Would you like to help your students set goals? This unit can help you do it!

Learning how to set goals and creating an action plan for achieving them is also a key part of cultivating a growth mindset. Growth-mindset goals are uniquely actionable and focus on the small steps of growth. In this unit, students will identify the differences between learning and performance goals, practice setting goals by categories, set and analyze SMART and AMPS goals, engage in backward planning, and experience how little changes in habits can lead to big changes in growth and achievement.

I have used these goal-setting worksheets with mid-upper elementary students, and also with middle-schoolers.
