What role do goal-setting practices play in the Success Navigator approach?

Goal-setting practices are essential in the Success Navigator approach because they establish a structured framework that guides individuals toward achieving their academic objectives. By defining specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, learners gain clarity on what they need to accomplish. This structure not only helps prioritize tasks and manage time effectively but also reinforces motivation and accountability. Setting clear goals allows students to track their progress, celebrate milestones, and adjust their strategies as needed, ultimately enhancing their chances of reaching their academic aspirations. In this context, goal-setting serves as a critical mechanism for navigating challenges and staying focused on long-term success.
