Planning and Setting Personal Targets

 

 

If you plan your personal targets

well, your chances of achieving them

will be greater.

Setting personal targets can be used for

trying to achieve different goals, large or

small, not just for the big things in life.

You may have some long-term personal targets you want to achieve. To achieve these, you may need to meet a series of short-term targets first.

You may also need to plan how you're going to achieve your personal targets. 

Writing a plan helps you find the

best way of achieving your

targets.

Target 2:“I aim to get at least 5 positive behaviour awards by the end of this term by attempting to answer 2 questions in every lesson.”SMART – very
