I loved your point that 'measurable' isn't always best, and can shift focus away from meaning. I work in higher ed, and my job is very focused on creating and assessing learning outcomes. My college wants measurable outcomes that produce data, but sometimes I get frustrated with that because not all learning IS so easily measurable or quantifiable.
I'm looking forward to learning about all three systems, but I think PACT is the most intriguing right now. I like the element of reflecting and reassessing.
As it happens, in some of my college's 'first term' courses, they like to teach students about SMART goals. This year I suggested we include a second, more neurodiverse-friendly option, and we're going to be including the PACT system!
Glad to hear the bit about measurability resonated — all posts in the series are up so you can dive into them already! In the one where we cover PACT we also chat about some other great tips from Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s book that can help the process so I would love to hear what you think!
As someone who recently finished my studies, I love that you're going to encourage a more experimental approach to goal pursuit, I would have loved to be taught about that at the start of my studies, but we were also just taught SMART goals instead 🫠💌
