You can find these at the LINCS Special Collection in Assessment at http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/ click on Teacher/Tutor and then click the 4th resource listed on that page. The final article in Volume 15, Spring 2003, has an annotated bibliography of all the articles in the volumes of Adventures that focus on In-Take and Goal-Setting with Students - there are great descriptions of processes as well as examples of useful tools. You can use the bibliography to point you to the particular articles that may be of interest to you. Volume 16 has an article that describes how one program integrates student goals into its instructional practice. Also, the Massachusetts' accountability system is based on student-identified goals. I will be organizing a guest discussion here for this fall with the group of folks who train and facilitate around this effort. I will send out an announcement to let you all know when this conversation will be held. I will also provide links to several program examples of how they identify and work with student goals. So that's coming soon. You can access the Mass. data system (called the SMARTT system) and view both the goals sheet and intake form at http://www.doe.mass.edu/acls/smartt/default.html - scroll down until you see SMARTT Forms - and click on those two resources. EFF (Equipped for the Future) is also based entirely on student identified goals. EFF was originally developed as a nation-wide effort. So all of the EFF model (standards, curriculum, assessments, classroom activities) are based directly on student-identified goals. You can find out more info by going to the EFF website and/or joining their on-line discussion. Go to: http://eff.cls.utk.edu/resources/default.htm for more on EFF. Finally, there was a bit of a discussion in August of this year on this List regarding student goals. Go to the archives at http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/nifl-assessment/assessment.html Click on Read Posted Messages 2005, and look through the posts from August entitled "Goal-Setting Anyone" or "Goal-Setting". I've no doubt that other states and/or programs work with student-stated goals. If you have good ideas and resources to share, we would love to know about them.
