Goal setting is powerful and critical life skill. Goals allow us to turn our vision of the future into our reality. Goals provide us short-term direction and long-term vision.

To set big life goals, we must first dream big and create a list of all the things we would like to see, do, and accomplish throughout our lifetime. From there, we can set small goals that are measurable and achievable. Then, we get to work!

Goals can be integrated into all areas of our life. We can strive to be more successful in our classes, faster on the court, or active every day. Goal setting is about making ourselves better, happier, and healthier.

For the rest of the school year, we are going to set goals related to our academic success, personal well-being, and career preparation. When we set our goals, we want to be sure that we are working towards something we want to ACHIEVE and simply make ourselves better. Self goals are in fact goals to better ourselves NOT the people around us. Remain true to you!

Would a 2 or 4-year school help me to achieve my goals?

This lesson plan is to help teachers implement SAEs into their Agricultural Education curriculum. The main goal of the lesson is to explain to students what an SAE is and why it is an important part of Agricultural Education and the 3-circle model. This lesson will help teachers introduce their students to SAE projects. This is a basic level lesson to help the teacher and students get SAEs started in their classroom. I would highly recommend visiting The National Council’s SAE page at ffa.org prior to teaching this lesson.

Students will need to plan out a short term, mid-term, and long term SMART goal.  They will need to label each portion of their goal with the appropriate letter from the acronym SMART.  Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timeline.
