         • On the printout, write a SMART goal for improvement:
                Specific: Vague goals are not good! Specify which class & exactly part of it what you will improve!
​                Measurable: Set a goal with a measurable outcome so you can tell when you have succeeded.
​                Action-oriented: You need to be able to act out specific, actual steps, not just "understand" or "get better at"
​                Realistic: Make sure you set a reasonable goal that is actually achievable, or you will get frustrated at the inability to succeed
​                Timed: Give yourself a deadline by which you must achieve the goal.
         • On the printout, below the SMART Goal, list the actions/steps you will take to achieve it.
         • On the printout below your goal, have your parents sign to show they know what your plan is.
