Goal setting and planning are the skills that enable us to get where we want to go in life. If you want to get higher marks, learn a new skill or open the door to the career of your choice, you need to have a plan. Use the Annual Education Plan to record the results of the planning activities and reviews that you conduct throughout the school year with the help of your teacher-advisor. Use the information on your report card and your IEP (if you have one) to help you set goals and develop action plans. By working on your annual education plan, you will learn both how to set goals that suit your strengths, interests and needs, and how to go about achieving them. You will review and revise your plans regularly as you evaluate your progress, gain experience, and learn more about yourself. Your plan will help you focus on your academic achievement, as well as career and educational opportunities, extracurricular activities, and community involvement activities. What you learn in these areas will help you to decide on and work towards your post secondary destination. Your parents or guardians will review and comment on your annual education plan twice a year. You should consult with them about your annual education plan and your IEP (if you have one) as often as you need to.
