Product Highlights:

1. Understanding the Acronym:

1. Learning the Framework:

• Page 2: Provides a detailed explanation of each component of SMART goals. Students learn what each letter stands for and how it applies to setting effective goals. This page ensures they understand the importance of each element in creating realistic and attainable goals.

1. Setting SMART Goals:

• Page 3: Students apply what they've learned by setting their own SMART goals. They are prompted to create specific goals for their overall school life, math, and ELA. This practice helps them internalize the framework and see how it can be used in different areas of their academic journey.
