• Lily has a vision board in her room that depicts who she wants to be and the goals she wants to achieve.

Luca’s goal is to get a B in math because it is a challenging class for him. He knows that he needs to study for at least an hour before each test, but he doesn’t have a quiet place in his home to study. Which of the following thoughts from Luca are an example of internal locus of control?

• This teacher shouldn’t give such difficult tests that require so much studying.

Jordan has a goal of eliminating late assignments this semester to help improve her grades.

Which is the best tip you could give to Jordan to help her reach her goal?

• Push through by having an energy drink so that you can stay up until everything is done.
• Focus on the most important subjects and don’t worry about every assignment in your other classes.
• Do just enough work for assignments to be considered “complete” and turn them in.
• Plan out in advance when you’ll complete assignments each week (including weekends) and limit time on social media until after you’ve finished your assignments.

Who is best demonstrating proactive self-advocacy?

• Ari receives a 50 for an essay he turned in late, so he told his parents his teacher was a tough grader.
• Adrian is working on a group project and he has been very consistent in doing his portion of the project on time.
• Aaron didn’t do as well as he wanted on his last math test, so he talked to his teacher about online resources and started attending voluntary tutorials twice a week.
• Aniyah thinks her teacher is boring, so she asked her counselor to change her schedule.
