Words to know
- goal
- a specific aim or target that a person or group strives to achieve
- SMART targets
- a goal should be: specific, measurable, achievable, recorded and timed
- commitment
- the dedication and determination to follow through on a plan or goal with consistent effort and responsibility
Common mistakes
Pupils think a goal or a target it the end product or outcome to be achieved.
A goal can be based on outcome, however it can also be a goal set about the performance or process of doing something. For example, building a 3-2-1 pyramid in the quickest time compared to building the 3-2-1 pyramid without dropping any objects.
For parents, carers and teachers
