Goal Setting Worksheet

This graphic organizer is useful in helping students consider, record, and track their goals and progress toward those goals. By breaking down a goal into steps, students can visualize and better understand the process.

KWL Chart

This KWL chart is a classic reading strategy used by teachers since the mid 1980s. Students activate their background knowledge or schema as they brainstorm what they know about a topic under the “K” column. They then set a purpose for reading by noting what they want to know under the “W” column. Finally, they record what they learned under the “L” column.

Progress Report

Q-Chart

This graphic organizer can help both students and teachers generate questions that range from factual to higher-level synthesis and application questions. The farther down and to the right you go, the more complex the question.

Think-Pair-Share Chart

This graphic organizer allows students to record their individual responses to questions or prompts. After discussion with a partner, students can note what their partner thought. Together they can then decide what they will share with the group. It is particularly useful for brainstorming, content review, and generating responses to critical-thinking questions. Think-Pair-Shares allow students “think time” to process their own thoughts before sharing with a partner or group.
