For my masters thesis I conducted a quantitative two-group study to determine whether goal setting and self assessment in ELA could impact student self-efficacy among at-risk secondary students, and it DID. Big time! In this session I will share my goal setting mini-unit (can run alongside any curriculum) as well as all the slides and trackers you need to ensure student success. This program increases positive mastery experiences for all students, and increases self-efficacy in those students identified as at-risk due to late language reclassification/acquisition, special education needs, unstable housing environments, drug/alcohol use/possession or incidences of violence on campus.
Session Objectives: You will understand how individual goal setting paired with self assessment can maximize mastery experiences for your students and thus impact their self-efficacy, AND you will have all the tools and knowledge necessary to implement this mini-unit as an effective intervention.
