A goal without a date is a wish.
Documentarian photo + annotation + witness tick — ASDAN PEQ L1 — planning & reviewing own learning.
1) Say a goal you have — any goal.
2) What's the difference between a wish and a plan?
3) Point to last week’s audit — your goals start there.
1) What does 'A goal without a date is a wish.' mean in your own words?
2) Today is 'Goals That Work' — from wishes to plans. What do you think we'll be doing?
3) By the end you should be able to say: 'I can turn a vague goal into a specific, dated one.' What will that take today?
1) Take a goal you've abandoned before. Diagnose exactly where it died.
2) Your goal is due in six weeks. Design the halfway milestone and the behind-plan response.
3) Why does a goal need a CHECK date as well as a deadline?
Key Question: What are we building today — and where does the evidence go?
Get better at maths, Be fitter, Get a job one day, Be more confident
Draw lines to match:
Get better at maths · Be fitter · Get a job one day · Be more confident
Train twice a week for six weeks · Speak once in every group session this week · Complete one work-experience day this term · Pass FS Level 1 numeracy by June
My goal is ______.
I will know it worked when ______.
My check date is ______.
goal · specific · achievable · dated · first step · check date · wish · measurable
1) Write two goals: specific, achievable, dated. 2) Add a first step to each. 3) Set the check date and explain how you will know it worked.
Sentence spine: "I started by ___ — then ___ — which shows A goal without a date is a wish."
A goal that's specific, dated and checked can STILL fail. Name the failure modes that remain. Design a goal for someone who says 'I don't have any goals.' What do you start from?
Task: Choose one goal card, then build it with the frames: I will ___ by ___. My first step is ___.
Work here (an adult can scribe):
Task: Write two working goals from your audit — specific, achievable, dated — each with a first step and a check date.
Evidence check: photo ☐ annotation ☐ witness ☐
Task: Write two working goals from your audit — specific, achievable, dated — each with a first step and a check date.
Stretch (L2 standard): add a measurable milestone at the halfway point — and what you’ll do if you’re behind it.
1) I can turn a vague goal into a specific, dated one — true for you today? Say how.
2) I can attach a first step I can take this week — true for you today? Say how.
3) I can say how I will know the goal is met — true for you today? Say how.
1) What does 'A goal without a date is a wish.' mean now the lesson’s done?
2) What did you actually make or do today — and which bit are you proudest of?
3) Where does today’s evidence bank?
1) A goal that's specific, dated and checked can STILL fail. Name the failure modes that remain.
2) Design a goal for someone who says 'I don't have any goals.' What do you start from?
3) Argue that a failed, reviewed goal beats an achieved, unreviewed one — then say when that's false.

One statement per candidate per session. File it with the photo, not instead of it.
Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.
| Space | The Effectiveness Board tracks progress, never rankings — your headline is yours to word, and 'pass' is always allowed. |
| Voice | Say your goal with its date attached. The date is the part that makes it real. |
| Audience | A witnessed goal is twice as likely to land — that is the only reason it goes up. |
| Influence | Your check date goes in the calendar. The board decides when we come back to it. |
Closing the loop: this one ends on paper — your own hand, or your words scribed by an adult. Saying it aloud starts the loop; writing it is what closes it. Pass is always allowed.
