Target
This adaptable approach provides a simple way to illustrate 'distance travelled' by learners simply and graphically. Here, we describe how to use it and provide some templates so that you can choose the one that will suit you and your situation best.
This resource relates to the theme Planning learning and reviewing progress.
What tutors and learners say
"The chart is quite flexible in application. I've already come up with a few ideas of my own. I was thinking, for example, of using it to evaluate just a few elements of a session, so that it's low impact, but allows the highlighting of certain 'focus areas'.
Using Target had its merits. It meant I planned a more focussed sequence of sessions to allow learners to explore their yoga experiences in a more developmental way."
Paul, tutor, Dru yoga.
"Although the goals we set are inevitably subjective, and dependent on your mood, health and energy each session, it did provide a focus for thinking about my strengths and weaknesses."
Louise, learner, Dru yoga.
"I was surprised at how keen learners were to list and discuss their learning targets. Most felt that they could congratulate themselves on what they had achieved so far, and their continuing development in relation to more recent targets. I liked the format and would use it at the beginning, middle and end of the course to provide continuity in assessment over one or more years."
Irene, tutor, yoga.
