Format:Paperback
I'd rate it with more stars if I could.
Goal Setting for Students is a nice, 68 page book that will help every parent get his or her child started on goals and achievement. The layout is simple and easy-to-read, and each chapter offers questions, with do-able and interesting activities, plus a final review at the end to recap what was taught. The book encourages children and teens (the book is for 5-12 graders) to invest in themselves, and why.
I tutor kids in my home (though I don't have children of my own), and can't wait to show this guide to parents. If your child seems "lost" or is not achieving on a level you'd like them to, this book is a great place to start.
What a valuable yet inexpensive investment!
John Bishop has zeroed in on a problem with kids--they have no purpose and no direction.
Parents: Goal Setting for Students will help you to help your child.
Teachers: Goal Setting for Students will help you to help your students.
Even though the age range is for students in grades 5-12, if you have younger students or children, I'd buy it anyway. The tools in here are great for almost any age.
What a legacy to leave your children: success and direction

From learning how to set realistic goals; to measuring academic progress; to walk-through examples, and more, Goal Setting For Students is an ideal motivational tool for any student regardless of academic subject matter.

This is an outstanding resource for teachers, students, and parents. It clarifies the process and purpose for goal setting in a student-friendly, organized format. The strategies and examples are well-developed and relevant, making it far more likely for students to experience success.
Since we began implementing goal setting using many of the suggestions and resources in this book, students in our school district have become more engaged in learning and accept a greater responsibility for their academic growth. Teachers repeatedly comment that their students are far more motivated since they began setting classroom and student learning goals. We highly recommend this resource.
