Goal Tracking Sheets

Goal tracking sheets are a powerful tool to help students take ownership of their learning and behavior. By setting individual goals such as "I will keep my hands to myself" or "I will follow directions," students are given clear expectations and a sense of responsibility for their actions. These tracking sheets encourage students to reflect on their progress, build self-regulation skills, and celebrate their successes when they achieve their goals. Once they have mastered a goal, students can choose a new one, fostering a continuous cycle of growth and improvement. This process not only strengthens their commitment to positive behavior but also builds confidence in their ability to succeed.

Teachers can use these goal tracking sheets to support students in a personalized and meaningful way. The sheets provide a simple yet effective framework for monitoring progress, reinforcing positive behaviors, and offering praise when goals are achieved. This approach empowers students to take charge of their behavior and learning, while giving teachers a clear way to support and recognize their efforts.

Possible goals include:

• I will use a calm voice when I am upset.
• I will raise my hand and wait to be called on before speaking.
• I will keep my hands to myself.
• I will complete my work.
• I will follow directions.
• I will use my materials as they are supposed to be used.
• I will stay in one spot.
• I will work the whole time. 
• I will ignore distractions.
