Target Setting I will make it a point to read

the newspaper everyday, pick out 5 words that I do not know and check its meaning I will spend 1 hr each day practising algebra sums

It is more productive to give specific strategies like those listed above

Target Setting • Refer to JAE Booklets available • Or visit: http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions /jae/files/jae-info.pdf

360º Values Assessment • A tool that provides each student the opportunity to receive a more complete evaluation of herself • Assessed by self, peer, teachers (form and CCA) and parent • Understand her strengths and areas for improvements

360º Values Assessment

Dialogue Session with Teacher • Each parent 10-15 minutes • • • • •
