The document discusses goal setting in Room 207. It describes how the students wrote down their dreams and big goals for the year. They were instructed to break down their big goals into smaller, attainable steps using the SMART goal criteria. Specifically, the goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, have results, and have a dedicated time commitment. The students will write down their small goals for the first trimester and check in on progress every six weeks.
