1) Setting Long-Term/Short-Terms Goals

Goals and objectives whether they be short term or long term are essential for measuring not only growth of the students but also the effectiveness of your lessons and your own self assessment as an educator. Goals are perfect for measuring student growth short term. Having different goals for different aspects of your curriculum makes sure that everything is being tested. Long term goals are good for students to bring into their future lives or future education whether that be with real-world connections or understanding how things change over time, even down to the geographical significance of certain locations or histories.
