Smart
Goal Setting
I should
always try my best on the work set by doing them properly and detailed and hand
them on time so that I get good feedback in a better standard as well so each
time I do work I will give the work a good layout and introduction on the work
so I don’t forget the work. I would also have opportunity of grammar checked
for my work to reduce my work from end of year which also improves my grammar
because I get to see the problems of grammar in my work.
I also
need to use good wordings when I put it in my own words or reword the meanings
I need to use some more advanced English or adjectives to make more sense.
Extended
project
I should
do things a little faster so I should take more photos in work so that I don’t
forget the steps. So I hope I can investigate more of making so I don’t get the
making wrong. I should use more time to do the log book then other practise so
I get more information recorded and photos recorded too because they count my
points so I will spend half an hour to 1 hour on log book so I won’t do the
forget everything and catch up the log book on the last day.
When
comes to scenarios I need to read several times to remember precisely and
understand it more if I don’t understand then I should ask so I could improvise what I am saying or even
rewrite it.
When
comes to explain or analyse I would need to find out the meaning of the words
so that I understand how to actually do it.
Smart
targets
Use the
following guidance when create your targets – your advisor can help you;
Keep
your targets SMART;
Specific
“I will
do better” is very vague – if it was that easy then we would all be getting top
grades. Write down what you need to do to reach your goal. “I will practice my
crosses from the right side” is better than “I will get on the school team”
Measurable
How do
you know you are doing better? “I will work on my improving my vocabulary this
year” is better because you can review the results of your vocab tests and
measure your successes.
Attainable
We would
all love to be able to score top marks in all subjects but it is unlikely to
ever happen. Set yourself the goal of learning 5 new words a week in Chinese,
rather than learning the whole dictionary. Remember that you may also want to
play sport, see friends and watch a movie at some point…..
Relevant
Make
sure that your goals will improve your school life. While you might want to get
better grades setting the goal “I will play Halo once an evening for 2 hours”
is unlikely to help you achieve your target.
Time-based
How
often are you going to do something to help? How long are you going to do it
for? When will you re-assess your successes?
Further
notes;
Make
sure that you focus on what you are going to do rather than achieve;
“I will
improve my performance by focusing on my verbs” is better than “I want to get a
6 in Chinese”
Be
positive – saying what you are going to do is best. “I will contribute
effectively in group work” is better than “I won’t talk in lessons”
Now that
you know you’re learning strengths and areas for improvement, you can begin to
think about the targets that you can set yourself by cutting 10 minutes.
A target
is something that you can work with your teacher to achieve to improve your performance
in an area of school life, Think about the following things;
l
It does not have to be academic – it could be a target to improve your
involvement in CAS, your relationships with your classmates
l
It must be something that matters to you – otherwise you won’t care
about achieving it
l
It must be a SMART target – these are outlined on the following blogs
Reflections about how you spend your time
each day.
Trends:
I can see the
sport times & games could catch up my working times if I don’t use my free
periods effectively or don’t do work the time I suppose to do.
Anomalies:
Areas which could be improved upon
I could gym with
friends instead of playing games that’s useless for life even it help stress
but I think socializing with friends also do help. I only play games on Saturday
and Sunday before playing basketball so it won’t disturb my thinking from work.
Practical and focused goals for managing your learning (Smart)
I need to effectively use the free periods which could leave out about 4
hours a week. When there is a hand in assignment day on 8:10 I could just go
straight to school and eat so I won’t be late handing in the work because I
will have about 15 minutes early because I still need to leave at 7:20 due to
the minibus only come on that time for KGV but in Sha Tin we want to leave at
6:50 if too early there might not be any minibus going due to they will not
earn money.
I also need to use my time in tutor times effectively because most of
them have nothing to do to BTEC especially Sha Tin due to not much we need to
watch or do.
For Sha Tin college afternoon break I play basketball and king george v
school lunch I am thinking of work out, but due to the short time I use to have
lunch. Do work during early arrival too. I can cut down the lunch time watching
times and eat faster so I have time to gym. In dinner time I should try to eat
my fruits faster. I should actually sleep early without watching anything when
my head felt tired or I won’t be able to do well on second day to save 10 minutes
each day in a total of 1 hour 10 minutes. Cut gaming from 3 hours to 30 minutes
or none because I feel the success too watching other stuff, try new games each
time don’t need to be addicted to one game and more time to do work. I also
want to cut the entertainment to 1 hour too because I got to entertain playing
badminton with the club too.
According to cutting the games I have about 1 more hours on Saturday and
Sunday.
According to cutting my watching time and eating fruits in dinner I cut
down 30 minutes.
According to cutting time to watch before sleep I want to increase the
time to sleep to 8 hours 30 minutes. Also usually on Saturday & Sunday I
watch a bit television before sleep even it’s very late already so I should not
watch any television and go straight to sleep
