Goal-Setting

Goal Setting Throughout Club Practices

Facilitators can also promote goal setting throughout club activities. Using a goal-setting framework might make this process easier to understand. 

​

S.M.A.R.T. goals are frequently used to set many types of goals (Haughey, 2014). The acronym often starts for: 

• Specific

• Measurable

• Actionable (or assignable)

• Realistic

• Time-based

The SMART framework can help students frame their writing aspirations into products that are achievable in given timeframes. 

​

P.A.C.T. goals are another goal-setting framework that might be helpful (Salmon-Stevens, 2021). ​This acronym stands for: 

• Purposeful

• Actionable

• Continuous

• Trackable

The advantage of the PACT model is that it focuses on the motivations and repeatable progress. This framework may help students take a more process-oriented view of their writing goals.
