Visualizing a future is a daunting task. Writing goals is a life skill and having my students practice this skill each year encourages them to continue the practice of goal setting. Although, calling it goal setting may cause their eyes to glaze over; calling this skill a Dream/Vision Board, using art and inspirational quotes to build the skill of goal setting, has been very successful. The students analyze their Dream/Vision Boards and write short term, intermediate, and long term goals that are needed to reach those dreams. They learn to break down the big dreams into manageable chunks that are attainable. A Dream/Vision Board is a tool used to build a collage of words and pictures that represent the student´s goals and dreams. The purpose is to create a visual reminder of where students want to take their learning and their lives. To visualize future goals. With poster board, markers, inspirational stickers, magazines and art work, students create their own unique Dream/Vision Board. We spend days, sometime weeks, working on this project. It is a fluid project; students add new dreams and check off accomplished goals as the year progresses. This is a project done on a yearly basis - as students continue to grow, evolve and expand, their dreams do too. A Dream/Vision Board is meant to be kept and cherished. They chronicle not only dreams, but growth and achievements.
