Short Term Goals and Assessment for Learning

All of us have heard about these short term goals and we have our own interpretations about goals. But what exactly do we do and how we work to achieve them always plays an important role. When we want to learn or work towards any particular goals, the first thing that we should do is set a path to be followed and constantly assess our performance and work towards betterment. Now let's discuss more about Short Term Goals and what should be done to achieve them.



Whenever we have short term goals, the one important thing that should always be kept in our mind is the value of time. When we have to succeed in our short term goals, we should properly assess our learning habits and skills so that we should make best use of what we have and what we know to a great extent. The other thing that must be taken care of is experimenting. When you have short term goals that have to be achieved, then you should never try experimenting on our reading or learning skills as the more time you waste to experiment, the more is the time that you are loosing. So the best thing that should be done is to assess your skills that you are already good at and then follow by their path. For example, you might be good at learning at certain time or at a certain place and might perform less in other timings or places, so it is better to stick to what you are good at.

An other important thing that we should do before we start with our short term planning is that we should initially list out the activities that we intend to complete and the time that we have for them. Now rank your priorities for learning or working and then you must be dividing your time accordingly. Once you are done with dividing your time and ranking your priorities according to the importance and complexity of work we should start with the process of learning. The one point that should always be remembered is that short term planning always needs dedication without which it is difficult to achieve success with it.
