Speech & Language Goal Buntings

One of my goals for this year is to increase my students' awareness of their goals in speech. I have a couple things that I am trying, and today I'll be sharing about my goal bunting. More strategies coming soon!

In order to make their goals more "personal," my students spent some time at the beginning of the school year decorating their bunting triangles.
It was a great way to hear why students thought they come to speech. It was also heart-warming to hear students talk about their long-term goals and to hear them make connections. We got to discuss how working on certain skills in speech might help them reach their goals.

I then decorated my door with the students' artwork. When they meet a goal, the students get to put a star on the door. I'm hoping that I have a door full of stars by the end of the year. :)
I'm also testing a variety of tools to increase students' engagement in monitoring their progress. I'm excited to share that with you in the future!
