05+Setting+aims+and+goals

By asking yourself some questions you will get quite a good look at what you think your students should achieve during the project. Of course all goals and aims are directly or indirectly connected with your curiculum. As soon as you know what your goals and aims are, you can think of the //activities// you want your students to do. Activities are connected to the goals/aims. Activities are more or less answers to the questions on how you think your students could achieve the goals/aims.

Here are some questions you could or should ask and answer either for yourself or (better) together with your partner(s): - What do you want our students to achieve? - How do you choose your goals? - How do you reach your goals? - Why is it so important to work with goals when you teach? - Are the aims realistic, relevant, understandable; think of the SMART-goals (see also your assignment). - Which signs show that you are on the right track? - When is the project a success? - Are you able to evaluate the aims? - How can you be sure that the project will have enough quality? - On which competences do you emphasize? Ict? – language? – intercultural? – social?- others?

In the Comenius applications you find (among other questions) the following questions in section D.3: - What are the concrete objectives of the partnership/project? - Explain what subjects or problems you intend to address - What approach will you take to achieve your objectives?
