The topic that I chose to teach was “Goal Setting and Time Management.” I felt that one of the most challenging points in transitioning from high school to college was managing time and effectively using my time. One of the ways to manage your usage of time is to set goals. Setting attainable goals is important for students. Discussing SMART goals was crucial for encouraging the development of attainable goals. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (Purdue Global, 2024). Goal setting also helps students prioritize better, clears directions, and stay motivated (Osamwonyi, 2023). High school is more structured in comparison to college and with being more self-centered, it requires students to develop a skill set to enhance time management. Goal setting helps with developing time management because of the SMART goals previously mentioned. One study found that giving students support in developing goal setting and time management skills at the undergraduate level was beneficial to their academics and personal well-being (Kalun et al. 2024). The goal of the lesson was to help students develop short- and long-term goals that can further develop their time management skills.
