Goal setting is focusing on your own improvement by identifying goals that are important to you and based on data or input.

The graph shows your students' self-rated behaviors on the three components of goal setting:
1. Meaningful to You
2. Focused on Personal Improvement
3. Based on Data/Input

The graph provides average ratings for all items within a component, and the table displays the number of students that selected each rating for individual items.
