The first step in the self-regulation cycle is setting goals   collaboratively with students. Once established, the monitoring and   implementing of strategies must take place. This allows teachers and   students to collaborate during the learning process and adjust   learning activities to assist students in achieving their goals.   Collecting data, monitoring progress, and making instructional   adjustments are the most significant pieces. Providing documented,   specific feedback to the student on his or her progress is an integral   component of communication with the student, family, and educational   support staff.

Use the “Student Goals Timeline” template  to create:

• A student-friendly timeline to visually represent the     students progress in learning for one month
• A     schedule to collaborate with the student to discuss progress towards     the goals for one  month
• Identified points when family     collaboration will occur
• The final assessment that will be     used to determine if the long-term and short-term goals were met     through the planned learning activities.

In addition, write a 250-500 word rationale which includes the following:

• The importance of developing an organized, student-friendly     method for documenting students goals and tracking   progress
• How the timeline allows the student to analyze their     assessment results and set goals for their future   learning.  
• How the timeline increases transparency     for the students on their progress for the student, family, and     educational support staff.
• Why assessment results should be     used to adjust instructional elements to meet the individual needs     of students

Support your findings with 1-2 scholarly resources.
