Standards-aligned learning objectives focused on building health skill proficiency and strengthening students’ health literacy through real-world application.

✅ Students can identify areas of their life they want to improve (e.g., being a better listener, remembering to wash hands, being more active).

✅ Students can describe simple, positive habits and routines that help them work toward their goals.

✅ Students can check in with themselves and reflect on how they’re doing (e.g., “Am I getting better at this?” “How do I feel about my progress?”).

Hands-on, engaging teaching activities that give students opportunities to practice each health skill in realistic, relevant ways.

🔎 ​​Goal Brainstorm Web: Students draw or write things they want to get better at (e.g., tying shoes, being a kind friend, eating more fruits).

🔎 ​​Habit Tracker Chart: Students choose one goal and track their progress with simple visuals like stickers, smiley faces, or checkmarks.

🔎 ​​Goal Check-In Circle: Create a routine where students share how their goal is going using prompts like “I’m proud because…” or “Next time I’ll try to…”

Standards-based assessment measures students' health literacy and their ability to apply the health skills in a real-life scenario, demonstrating both their understanding of the health skill and their capacity to use it to manage their health.

📚 My Goal Poster: Students choose one goal and create a poster showing:

- What they want to improve

- Why it matters

- One thing they’ll do to work on it

- Include a visual element (drawing or photo) and a simple check-in section to show how it’s going.

Standards-aligned learning objectives focused on building health skill proficiency and strengthening students’ health literacy through real-world application.

✅ Students can understand what a goal is and why setting goals helps them grow and improve.

✅ Students can identify personal goals and begin practicing how to reach them using the GROW skill cue (Get Real, Reach, Outsmart Obstacles, Work).

✅ Students can monitor progress, reflect on effort, and adjust goals when needed.

Hands-on, engaging teaching activities that give students opportunities to practice each health skill in realistic, relevant ways.

🔎 ​​GROW Match Activity: Introduce each step of the GROW model and have students match sample goals, obstacles, and action steps to the correct part.

🔎 ​​Goal Gallery Walk: Students write a goal on chart paper, then rotate around the room offering encouraging ideas or suggestions for overcoming obstacles.

🔎 ​​Mini Goal Challenge: Students set a short-term goal (like completing homework on time for a week) and use a reflection sheet to document progress and effort.

Standards-based assessment measures students' health literacy and their ability to apply the health skills in a real-life scenario, demonstrating both their understanding of the health skill and their capacity to use it to manage their health.

📚 GROW Goal-Setting Plan: Students choose a personal goal and complete a GROW planning sheet:

Get Real: What do I want to improve and why?

Reach: What is my goal?

Obstacles: What could get in the way and how can I handle it?

Work: What steps will I take and how will I track progress?
Option to include a short reflection after 1–2 weeks on what’s working and what they might change.

Standards-aligned learning objectives focused on building health skill proficiency and strengthening students’ health literacy through real-world application.

✅ Students can use the B.E.S.T. model (Body, Environment, Self, Social) to self-assess their well-being and identify a meaningful goal they want to work toward.

✅ Students can follow the GROW model (Get Real, Reach, Outsmart Obstacles, Work) to set and follow through on realistic goals.

✅ Students can establish accountability structures, such as check-ins, reflection tools, or support partners, to stay motivated and committed to their goals.

✅ Students can reflect on their progress and make adjustments based on effort, obstacles, and results.

🔎 ​​Obstacle Spotting Scenarios: Students review goal-setting scenarios (e.g., trying to get more sleep, save money, or eat breakfast daily) and identify potential obstacles. They then brainstorm and share realistic strategies for outsmarting those obstacles, building their ability to anticipate and adapt.

🔎 ​​Accountability Learning Stations: Set up interactive stations featuring different accountability tools (habit trackers, goal buddies, reflection prompts, visual trackers, digital apps). Students explore each method, reflect on what would work best for them, and build a personalized accountability strategy.

🔎 ​​ B.E.S.T. Model Self-Assessment: Students use the B.E.S.T. framework to reflect on where they are currently with their Body, Environment, Self, and Social well-being. Based on this self-check, they identify one area they want to improve and start brainstorming a goal aligned with that area, not a formal plan yet, just reflection and exploration.

Standards-based assessment measures students' health literacy and their ability to apply the health skills in a real-life scenario, demonstrating both their understanding of the health skill and their capacity to use it to manage their health.

📚 B.E.S.T. + GROW Goal Case Study: Students complete a full self-assessment using the B.E.S.T. model to reflect on their well-being. Based on their reflection, they identify one area they want to improve and complete a full GROW plan.

The assessment must include:

- Their self-assessment using B.E.S.T.

- A clearly defined goal

- A step-by-step GROW breakdown

- An accountability plan (how they’ll stay on track)

- A short reflection on how they’ll check in and know if it’s working
