Ready, Set, Goal!

Description

In this presentation, we will explore different topic areas to help our OSY tackle and achieve their goals. Topics will include: Creating S.M.A.R.T. Goals; Prioritizing Goals; Overcoming Obstacles; and identifying types of goals. It will also include some activities that can be performed with students and/or staff.  Finally, we will be looking into commonly seen scenarios across the state, and come up with solutions to lead our students to their goals.
