In this episode:

Listen in as we talk about promoting self leadership through goal setting as a way to foster independence in your literacy classroom. 

We talk about:

The what, the why and the how of building independence by promoting self leadership through goal setting in your upper elementary literacy classroom.

Quotables: 

-Self leadership in the literacy classroom is a student's ability to define a goal they are working towards based on their knowledge of themselves and the areas that they want to grow in as it relates to literacy.

- If students are simply just trying to get better at something, but don’t have a goal for what they are trying to achieve then their efforts will be in vain. 

-A goal is only effective in motivating self leadership if a student remembers what it was.
