🎯 Personalised Planning with Purpose

Why Goal Setting Matters When You're Home Schooling on the Move

When you're educating on the road, no two journeys look the same - and neither do the children learning along the way. That’s why goal setting sits at the heart of every Caravan Classroom plan.

Rather than trying to teach everything, everywhere, all the time, our planning tools help you focus on what truly matters: aligning learning with your child’s stage, your family’s values, and the realities of travel life. With a clear direction, you’ll feel more confident in your teaching - and more connected to your child’s progress.

🧠 SMART Goals: Keep Learning Focused and Achievable

When setting goals, we suggest using the SMART framework:

·       Specific – Clearly focused on a single skill, habit, or area

·       Measurable – Includes ways to track or observe progress

·       Achievable – Suited to your child’s developmental stage and learning context

·       Relevant – Linked to your child’s interests, current needs, or the Australian Curriculum

·       Time-bound – Set within a timeframe that makes sense for your travel plans

Whether your child is building confidence in writing, learning to solve problems independently, or simply trying to stay engaged while on the road, SMART goals help break learning into manageable, motivating steps.

🎯 The Power of Learning Intentions

Each learning block in our plans includes clear learning intentions - simple, targeted statements that explain what your child is aiming to learn.

Example:
“I can recognise how language changes depending on the situation, and identify when language is biased, subjective, or objective.”

These learning intentions:

·       Help children understand the purpose behind each activity

·       Promote self-reflection and ownership of learning

·       Guide your teaching and assessment

·       Provide a clear basis for feedback and documentation

Used alongside SMART goals, learning intentions keep your child’s education grounded, intentional, and flexible - even when your location isn’t.
