TL;DR
Turn a goal into a specific result with a deadline, then link the work that will help you reach it.
Before you begin
The Goals feature must be enabled for your school and profile.
Key points
Describe a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound goal.
Use available guidance to improve the goal's wording.
Link relevant tasks and plan when to work on them.
Review progress and adjust the plan; completing linked tasks is evidence of activity, not proof that every learning goal is achieved.
