Task Purpose:
To explore personal and learning goals and outline effective strategies to achieve them.

Task Description:
Explore your goals and the strategies that you can employ to achieve these goals. Make sure that your goals are
SMART. Each goal needs a timeline.

Once you have outlined your goals you will need to get feedback from relevant people on these goals. For example, if
you have a goal to improve your fitness you may need to talk to a sporting coach or a PE teacher to get some feedback
on your strategies. You should use the feedback you receive to make any necessary adjustments to your strategies and/or
goal.

What capability or capabilities will you need to use in order to achieve your goals?
Describe how you will need to develop the capability or capabilities (what specific skills/attributes) to achieve each of
your goals.

You can present it in a negotiated format eg PPT, oral presentation, video etc. Please look at the template carefully as it
covers all three assessment criteria (in bold).

For each goal consider the SMART steps

In order to achieve this goal it needs to be:
Specific
