Facilitate Student Goal-Setting
Students take an active role in defining their learning goals using NWEA classroom resources.
When students are involved in planning their learning goals, they become more accountable for achieving academic growth. Several individual student reports can be used to guide conversations among teachers, students, and their parents.
The Goal Setting Worksheet engages students in planning and measuring their academic goals.
By looking at their growth over time, students and teachers can celebrate the learning that has occurred. This view allows students to acknowledge the progress they have made, and begin to think about what they will try to achieve in the future.
Conversations about future learning objectives are guided by reports that automatically display a student's most recent test score and the typical growth for a student in that grade and at that performance level. Using this report, teachers, students, and parents can create a contract for the year ahead that includes achievement goals and a plan to reach them.

Guide appropriate instruction using classroom resources. Group students with similar instructional levels. Help students become more responsible for setting their own academic goals.
