A City Education: The Importance of Teaching Students to Set Goals - Education - GOOD:

"Before the New Year's, I read an article about setting goals. The article said that just three percent of the population sets goals, and only about one percent of people write their goals down. Unsurprisingly, many members of that one percent are among the world's highest-achieving individuals. As a result, I've begun spending a lot of time thinking about my resolutions. They range from the usual ones—floss often, eat healthy, exercise more—to proactively setting goals for what I want to achieve with my students, and ensuring they know how to set and achieve goals for themselves."
