# Slides 2.5: Goals and the Five-Step Decision Model Slide outline for Lesson 2.5, two days. Day 1 is slides 1 to 10 (the goal ladder). Day 2 is slides 11 to 20 (the decision grid and the Goal Plan). Slide 12 is the five-step model; print it as a page if the Unit 0 poster is not on the wall. # Day 1 ## Slide 1: Goals and the Five-Step Decision Model - Lesson 2.5, Day 1: the goal ladder - Unit 2: Me, My Goals, My Money - You need: your SMART Goal Builder from yesterday and your Lesson 2.1 sort sheet Image: a simple drawn ladder with five rungs, the top rung labeled "goal" and the bottom rung labeled "this week." Notes: Pull the "needs more" pile from Lesson 2.4. Those students fix their goal during slide 4. ## Slide 2: Do now - Write one thing you want that will take more than a year to get - Write one thing you want that you could have by Friday - Two lines, two minutes Notes: Cold call four. Label the columns long-term and short-term. Hook: nobody gets the long-term one without a lot of short-term ones stacked up. Today you stack them. ## Slide 3: Short-term, long-term - Short-term goal: done in days or weeks - Long-term goal: takes months or years - A SMART goal can be either - A long-term goal without short-term goals under it is a wish with a date on it Notes: Students copy the two definitions onto page 1. ## Slide 4: The goal ladder - Top rung: the goal - Every rung below: one step, in order - Bottom rung: something you do this week, with a day on it - Every rung is an action someone could watch you do Image: the ladder from slide 1 filled in: top "make the school team in March"; rungs from the top: learn the two plays (January); run a mile three times a week (Monday); go to every open gym (November to February); ask the coach when open gym is (Tuesday). Notes: Build it on the board rung by rung. While you model, "needs more" students fix their SMART goal with a partner using the five-letter frame. ## Slide 5: The rung test - Could someone watch you do it? - "Ask the coach when open gym is": yes - "Get more serious": no - "Run one mile three times a week": yes - "Get better at defense": no Notes: Say the test once and then use it every time you circulate. ## Slide 6: Build yours - Pick one of your two SMART goals from yesterday - Top rung: the goal - Three to five steps in order - Bottom rung dated within one week - 12 minutes Notes: Grade 6: three rungs. Grade 8: a second ladder for the other goal on the back. ## Slide 7: The rung that breaks - Every ladder has one - What is the most likely thing to stop you? Name it - What will you do when it happens? - Obstacle: I forget. Plan: a note on the fridge - Obstacle: no ride to open gym. Plan: sign up for the late bus Notes: Push for a specific plan, not "try harder." ## Slide 8: Who helps - A person with a name and a way to reach them - "My sister, who reminds me at dinner" - "The coach, who runs the late bus list; I see him in the gym at 2:30" - Not "my family." Who, and how? Notes: Grade 6 may skip the helper line, but encourage it. ## Slide 9: Partner turn - Read your ladder to your partner - Partner says one rung that is not an action, or "all actions" - Fix it if you need to Notes: Two minutes each way. ## Slide 10: Exit line and tomorrow - My first step is ___ and I will do it on ___ (day). The person who helps is ___ - Thumbs: is your first rung dated within a week? - Keep page 1 in your folder. Tomorrow: a real decision, and the Goal Plan goes in Notes: Two students read theirs. Page 1 stays in the FACS folder. # Day 2 ## Slide 11: Goals and the Five-Step Decision Model - Lesson 2.5, Day 2: a real choice, and the Goal Plan - This is the Topic 2.2 check - You need: page 1 from yesterday, your Lesson 2.1 sort sheet, pages 2 and 3 Image: a decision grid table, blank, with three option columns and three rows. Notes: Timer up. The last 10 minutes are the check. ## Slide 12: Do now, and the five steps - Write the five steps of the decision model from Unit 0, in order, without looking at the wall - Then check: - 1. Name the choice. 2. List options. 3. Weigh each against what matters. 4. Decide. 5. Look back Image: five small icons in a row: a question mark, a list, a balance scale, a check mark, a mirror. Notes: Count who got all five. Expect three of five. Hook: today you use all five on a choice you are actually facing. ## Slide 13: The decision grid - Options across the top, at least three - What matters down the side: your top three values, or the goal on your ladder - A plus or a minus in every box, with one word why - Then decide, defend it in two sentences, and set a look-back date Notes: Walk Card 1 (the $25 birthday money) through the grid on the board. Options: game today, save all of it, save $15 and spend $10. Rows: bike by June, fun, independence. Decide C. Look back June 1. ## Slide 14: Your choice - Your own real choice is best - Or take one of the six cards on page 2 - Card 1: the $25. Card 2: same day. Card 3: tonight. Card 4: tryouts. Card 5: reading time. Card 6: lunch money - The rows must come from your own values or your own goal - 14 minutes Notes: About a third will take a card. That is fine. The check is three options and every cell filled. ## Slide 15: Filled in backwards - If the grid agrees with you on every row, you filled it in backwards - Find one honest minus for the option you want - "Fun: minus, nothing tonight" is honest Notes: The most common fix you will make while circulating. ## Slide 16: Look back - The step everybody skips - On what date will you check? - How will you know? A number helps: "on June 1, do I have $120?" - I will hand this back in four weeks and you will write one line on the cover Notes: [Sal: put the four-week date in your own calendar now.] ## Slide 17: The Goal Plan - Page 1: your SMART goal and ladder - Page 2: your decision grid - Page 3: the cover (three lines) and the rubric - Score yourself first in the "Me" column. I score after class - Staple, turn in. 10 minutes Notes: Circulate with the rubric and give each student one sentence before they turn in. ## Slide 18: How I score it - SMART: all five parts on the top rung - Ladder: three to five action rungs in order, first rung dated within a week, an obstacle with a plan, a helper - Decision grid: three options, rows from your own sheets, every cell filled, a defended decision, a look-back date - 12 points. Meets on all three is 9 Notes: Read the self-scores. A self-score two or more points above yours is a conference, not a mark-down. ## Slide 19: Exit card - The step of the decision model I will most likely skip in real life is ___ because ___ - One line on an index card Notes: Three students read theirs. Not scored. Most say "look back." Use that tomorrow. ## Slide 20: Tomorrow - Where do your 24 hours go? - Your first rung gets a real hour on a real day - Optional: do the first rung before tomorrow and be ready to say so Notes: One line. Keep the Goal Plans after scoring; Lesson 2.6 needs the first rung.
