Target setting. Scorecard. Get organised. New Years resolutions. This is a 30+ slide powerpoint navigated lesson that leads students to consider what they want to improve and then gives them a simple but magical tool to do it in the form of a scorecard. Particularly useful for tutor time, or for Target Setting or New Years Resolutions or for any reflection or goal setting. It can be focused on school targets and be used to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and achieving progress. It’s useful to you directly too ! Useful for students and also for teacher’s - I’m much more organised and self disciplined now I use my scorecard ! :-) Could even be used as an active assembly - each student would simply need a scorecard and a pen to participate. Both the Powerpoint and the Excel file are fully editable so you can adapt them if you wish. Happy teaching! Barclayfox.
