Lesson Plan
Kindergarten Goal Setting Lesson Plan
Students will learn to set one simple personal goal, articulate 2–3 tiny steps to achieve it, and share their plan with peers.
Early goal setting fosters self-regulation, motivation, and confidence. Guiding young learners to break goals into small steps builds planning skills and a growth mindset from the start.
