	Key Questions: What can goals help you achieve? Can everyone benefit from setting goals? Why or why not? How can you demonstrate resilience if you don’t meet a goal you have set?
	Lesson Steps: Students will likely need some discussion and examples of effective goal setting. Students will review the FQI tutorial about goals and goal setting.
