Using Student Goal Setting and Monitoring to Help Students Commit to Learning + Coaching Feedback and Badge

How can you help students take greater ownership of their learning from the start?

In this interactive course, you’ll explore how goal setting and progress monitoring can strengthen student motivation, effort, and commitment to learning. Grounded in neuroscience and learning science, the course provides practical strategies for engaging all learners, including students who may be reluctant to participate.

You’ll apply what you learn in your own classroom, measure the impact, and submit an artifact demonstrating your implementation. You’ll then receive personalized expert feedback to help you strengthen and refine your practice.

In this course, you will:

• Explore the brain science behind goal setting and its connection to student motivation.
• Create effective goal-setting and progress-monitoring routines.
• Apply ready-to-use strategies in your classroom.
• Measure the impact on student motivation and effort.
• Submit a classroom artifact demonstrating your implementation.
• Receive expert feedback to strengthen your practice.

After your classroom artifact is approved, you’ll earn a shareable digital badge recognizing your demonstrated use of student goal setting and monitoring. Add it to your professional portfolio, résumé, email signature, or social media profiles to showcase your achievement.
