Assignment: Drafting Goals for Your WIL Experience

Time Estimate: Approx. 25-45 minutes

Description

For this assignment, you will create a draft that maps out your goals and intended learnings for the next 6 months to include your WIL experience and post-WIL experience.

Do the following to complete the activity:

  1. Create one of each:
    1. One SMART goal relevant to your upcoming WIL
    2. One PACT goal relevant to your upcoming WIL
  2. Create a timeline, whether written or visual, that positions your goals at time increments (for PACT, it is ongoing but you may want to identify when you will start and when you might have to re-evaluate the goal). To support you with identifying time periods, here are some prompts: 
    1. When would you like to achieve your SMART goal within the WIL experience? Near the middle of the experience or at the very end?
    2. For a PACT goal, how continuous would it be – weekly, daily, monthly?
  3. Prepare a written response (approx. 250-350 words) that explains your Goals Timeline, summarizes the reasoning behind your goals and how they will support you in your career. The written response should make it clear that the goals are relevant and in service of lifelong learning.
