You target one or two goals for a certain period, whether it's for a week, two weeks, a month, or even a school year. This can be a way that teachers and parents work together. If you both know the goal you are trying to reach, then the student will succeed because it is being reinforced at home and at school. Working with the parent of a student is always a good idea, instead of just coming up with ideas on your own.
