Collaborative Schedule to Discuss Progress Towards the Goal for One Month: The student and teacher should meet once a week to discuss how the student is doing with the goal. The teacher can discuss with the student the challenges of the goal as well as the good things that the student has accomplished while working towards the goal.

Family Collaboration Points: For this timeline the parents and the teacher would have a conference twice a month to discuss the goals and the progress of the student towards their goals. This could be done in person or over the phone. By including the parent in the students progress and successes then the parent is able to help the student and praise them for how they are doing. The praise is good because it will encourage the student to keep pushing towards their goals even when they feel like they are starting to struggle (Smith, 2015).

Description of the Final Assessment: The final assessment for a goal such as, Sally will know how to count to 50, would be to sit with the student and have them count. This could be done with a one-to-one correlation by using marbles or candy pieces.

Summary: Setting goals for students is a very important part of the education journey but can also be the most difficult part for both the students and the teacher. When it comes to setting goals, it is extremely important to develop an organized and student-friendly method to track a students progress because the students need to be able to understand the goal process and feel like they are an integral part of their education journey rather than just a © 2018.

passive bystander. This creates a clear visualization of the path that is ahead of them, and it can boost their confidence and self-image (Ackerman, 2021). If the student can look at their progress as they are making it then they will gain confidence and feel like they can achieve their goals, it is important to set goals that are obtainable but are grade level and follow the standards set by the state and school. This timeline allows for the student to look back on the progress that they have made and look forward to the work that still needs to be done. If the goal timeline is properly used the student will be able to use it every month to continue to set goals and make progress throughout the year. The timeline lets the student evaluate whether a goal was achieved or was not achieved and meeting with the teacher weekly on Wednesday helps them to know if they are on the right track or if they need some more help. Students can make their own self-assessments that can lead to greater accomplishment and greater self-worth (Elias, 2019). The timeline is transparent and easy to understand, so not only does the student and teacher understand what is going on but so can their family. This allows for the family to be able to help hold the student accountable and help keep them on track. Assessment results can show whether a student has reached their goal or if they have just fallen short. These results can be used to adjust the lesson that is being taught or used to adjust how the student studies or does their assignments. This means that both the student and teacher can take accountability for the problem, if there is one, and all of the students and the teacher will benefit from this line of thinking.
