Homeschool Goals Forms

Objectives Form

The Objectives Form may be used for periods of weeks or for long term. I recommend reviewing objectives at least every 6 weeks. If you print 6 of these, space them in your planner between 6 weeks worth of lesson planner pages. Print the backs with a ruled file if you want to make comments along the way regarding the objectives.

Examples of objectives could be taken from standards lists. Standards can be found on the internet, schools post them and one that is easily accessible is at World Book.

Another place to look for objectives, and this is something that I did in addition to using World Book standards, is from your children's work and observing how they work. As they work, you will see where they need to work a little harder, and if there are places in which they need more tutelage, and that sort of thing.

Keeping a record of short-term objectives is optional, but when I kept the records, I found that the lists helped me plan my children's work with improved purpose and the lists helped me in the daily direction of teaching.

Goals Forms

The same sort of idea is behind the Goals Forms. The goals forms have a different layout and allows you to set a goal or various assignments along with the books and resources.

Classic Goals Form
Use for one subject per printed page.

See Example of Classic Goals Form

Goals
Use for two subjects or two parts of one subject such as spelling and reading in the subject of language arts.

Scope Planner: Details

Make a detailed plan of action to tackle one specific goal (or problem area).

Scope Planner
This scope planner can be used to break down a goal into specific steps. Or it can be used to plan a series of classes to teach one particular thing.
