EEND 679 Artifact #2-Goal Setting

When it was time to dive into Module 6, I was very excited to learn the module was all about online portfolios and goal setting. In this particular assignment, we were asked to create a three part plan for our students to self-assess, set a goal and then reflect. I created this Google Sheet for my students to plan out their goals for their fitness tests.  Each quarter, my students participate in the FitnessGram fitness tests.  Before taking this class, I didn't really do much with them. I sent a copy to the district, but after that, I have no idea where they go or what is done with them.  In creating this assignment, I am going to change the way I am do fitness testing. In order to truly allow my students to grow and progress I need to complete the fitness test at least twice a quarter so students can see their growth. Starting in 2nd quarter, I am going to try to implement this goal sheet to one of my classes to see how it goes. My concern is time.  These fitness tests take a full day to complete and there are 4 different tests they need to do. Since I am a quarter class, I only see my students for 9 weeks and fitness testing usually takes a full week to complete.  However, I thought I might try to complete the tests on our set fitness days.  For example, we have two fitness days per week and three sport days per week.  On our fitness days, I would knock out one of tests rather than take the entire week to test them.  If I did it this way, I may be able to get more tests done and my students would have more opportunities to see their growth.  I guess we'll see how it goes and hope for the best!  I do like the goal setting sheet I created. Students will have access to this at all times and they can go back and see how they did on each test and see if they have improved. Wish me luck!
