Take Action

The keystone self-determination concept is goal attainment. Educators use the Take Action lessons to teach students the crucial skills for attaining their goals. The lesson package consists of a student video, Take Action, teacher lessons plans, and student worksheets. Students learn to break their long-term goals into short-term goals that can be accomplished in a short time period. Lessons teach students to plan how they will attain their goal by deciding: a standard for goal performance. a means to get performance feedback, what motivates them to do it, the strategies they will use, needed supports, and schedules. This plan leads to student action, evaluation, and adjustment. The lessons can be applied to any goal or project.
