6. Hierarchy of goals
Using the tree-map:
• Incremental goals lead to the long term goal
• Combats perceived imbalance of skill & challenge
• Creating goals can be a mutual process
• initially: teacher suggests, and student develops
• Soon: student suggests, and ALL develop
• Regular feedback helps the student notice
• Achievement/progression +/- comments from ALL

“When they were gonna play their last song ‘sunshine’ it was beautiful and
Made me feel like I was in a field of daisies. I was sad it had to end, but it did.
I was sad then we went back to the classroom. I wish this day never ended.”
