🧠 The Pedagogy: Why It Works

This resource taps into the power of making abstract concepts concrete through hands-on activities. By framing goal setting as “cooking up” success, students are invited to think about their aspirations as a recipe. They identify the necessary “ingredients”—skills and knowledge—and then map out the “procedure,” or steps, needed to achieve their desired outcome. This culinary theme makes the process approachable and memorable, while the procedural writing component reinforces logical sequencing and clear communication.
