GRADE: 11

2. Learners should be able to:
1. Identify and differentiate between short-term, medium-

2. Create a SMART goal related to personal or academic

Example: Completing a group project by the end of the month.
2. Medium-Term Goals: Require more time to accomplish, typically within one to five years.
Example: Saving money for a vacation within six months.
3. Long-Term Goals: Take the longest time to achieve, typically beyond five years.
Example: Securing a job in your desired profession within 6 years after completing your degree.

3. Set deadlines
2. Break it down into smaller tasks
1. Identify the goal

5. SMART GOALS:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Relevant
• Time-bound
Specific: Clearly stating exactly what needs to be done.
For example: Setting a goal like “Score at least 80% on
math test” instead of just “Do well on the math test.”
Measurable: Having a way to track progress or know when the
goal is reached.
For example: Having a goal to “Read for 30 minutes each
day” rather than just “Read more.”
Achievable: Something that can actually be
accomplished, considering resources and abilities.
For example: Planning to “Complete one
chapter of the history assignment each day”
instead of trying to finish it all in one night.

6. CONT…
Relevant: Meaningful and related to what you want to achieve.
For example: Selecting to “Volunteer at a local animal shelter
to gain experience for a future veterinary career” instead of
engaging in activities unrelated to career interests.
Time-bound: Setting a deadline or timeframe for when
the goal should be completed.
For example: Deciding to “Finish writing the
essay by Friday evening” instead of leaving it
open-ended.

7. Sarah plans to set aside one hour each day after school to study
math, breaks down complex math problems into smaller,
manageable steps to understand them better, ensures that her
math study sessions align with her overall goal of improving her
grades, aims to achieve an average score of 85% or higher on her
math assignments and tests, and sets a deadline of three months
to see significant improvement in her math grades.

Perseverance is the ability to keep going

mindset, while persistence is the action
that comes from it.

the third attempt.
2. Even though she faced criticism from classmates, Maria continued to pursue her
passion for art and improved her skills over time.
Persistence:
1. After struggling to solve a challenging math problem, Sarah didn’t give up until she
found the solution, trying different approaches until she succeeded.
2. Despite facing rejection from publishers, Emily kept writing and submitting her
stories until she finally got her book published.
