Evaluation: The group will be evaluated with a pre and a post test (Appendix A). The pretest will be
given right before the lesson begins. The posttest will be given right after the lesson. Effectiveness of
the group will first be measured by attendance; hopefully 100% of sixth-grade students will be in
school for this lesson. Group effectiveness can also be seen by 90% of the students recognizing the
importance of creating plans in order to reach their goals; this can be seen by taking a look at the
difference between the pre and posttest answers. Lastly, the school counselor will follow-up with the
sixth grade students by using their Goal Setting Reproducible (Appendix B), and by seeing who
successfully accomplished a goal (or goals) from the form.

Reproducible
Evaluation = 90% of students will identify two
steps they have to achieve each goal.
Materials:
Planning and Goal Setting Pre/Posttest (Appendix A)
Goal Setting Reproducible (Appendix B)
Writing utensils
Strategy/Activities Procedure:
1. Introduce myself to the class. Tell the class that they are going to be learning about
setting goals and creating plans. Pass out the pretest and allow a few minutes for
students to complete it.
2. Ask the students to describe several things they want, which can be anything.
3. Tell the students that most of the time when we want something, we dont just get
it when we ask.
a. For example, If you wanted good grades, would your teacher just give them
to you? If you wanted to be the best at a sport, would that happen by doing
nothing?
4. By setting a plan, people are more likely to achieve their goals. Ask the students to
give you an example of a goal they currently have. Ask what some steps they
would take to reach that goal.
5. Explain to the students that setting goals is like math.
a. When you are making plans, it is important to think of what you can do to
help you get what you want.
b. Write on the smartboard: Part 1 + Part 2 = Goal
i. Write this with the example goal.
6. Have the students share a few more examples and write them in this formula.
