This week, our Panthers learned about showing engagement by taking ownership of their learning. Setting goals—whether formally or informally—and tracking progress are great ways for students to take ownership of their learning and feel pride in their work and accomplishments!

Our younger students were challenged to share a goal they have for themselves with their teacher or a peer. Our older students were asked to check in on a personal learning goal, reflect on the progress they have made, and determine their next steps.

Families can continue the conversation at home by asking, “What is something you are working toward right now?” or “What progress have you made, and what is your next step?” Celebrating the goals your child sets—and the progress they make along the way—is a wonderful way to encourage engagement and ownership at home, too!
