What’s Your Goal?

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) includes major life skills that all students need to get along with others and live happy, healthy lives. This book delves into the essential SEL skill of goal-setting, an integral component of the SEL core concept of self-management. Readers will learn why it is important to set goals. Accessible text paired with vibrant full-color photographs will allow readers to connect with the concept, and gain a deep understanding of how to apply this skill in daily life. For a comprehensive learning experience, this nonfiction title can be paired with the fiction title The One Goal of Gabby the Ghost (ISBN: 9781725355248). The instructional guide on the inside front and back covers provides vocabulary, reflections, background knowledge, text-dependent questions, whole class activities, and independent activities.
