This was our first lesson following the winter holidays. It was also the second week of virtual school, since our class was placed on isolation the week before break.
Students completely weekly SMART Goal setting and so the concept of goals is not new to them. However, it was important to debunk some of the misconceptions around New Year's Resolutions - New Year, New Me - and that it isn't about becoming a new person. We had a lively discussion around resolutions and goals. And how to create resolutions that can succeed. Some students struggled with making resolutions measurable, which is also reflected in their weekly goal setting. It was a good opportunity to review these concepts.
