Goal Setting for Self-Pacing

I was reading Flipping the Elementary Classroom and came up on a comment that gave me an epiphany. Students need to learn how to goal set for themselves in order to self-pace and make progress through a flipped classroom (or any classroom really).  As I look at this fall, part of my relationship building will be looking over the self-pacing that a student sets up for themselves.  Helping them see how they can complete all the things they need to do and learn as much as they can to prepare themselves for the future they want is what I think is key to helping my students be lifelong learners.
