Webinar 3: Setting Goals and Tracking Progress ​

Jeffco Proficiency Scales Webinar series. In the 3 of 6 webinars  Marzano consultants Tammy Heflebower and Jan Hoegh, will take us on a deeper dive into setting student goals and tracking progress. 

This webinar outlines the crucial student practice of setting goals and tracking their own progress toward these goals. It provides strategies for how teachers can encourage, both implicitly and explicitly, goal-setting behaviors in their students and highlight goals that will best encourage student learning. Finally, this chapter contains ways for teachers and students to track progress both individually and classwide, as well as suggestions for celebrating success as you reach goals.
