Managing Class Goals

Class Goals in Classroom Hero are collaborative targets that your class works together to achieve. They're perfect for motivating students and encouraging positive behavior through shared objectives.

Step 1: Access Goals

1. Navigate to your class dashboard

1. Click on the "Goals" tab in the navigation menu

1. Click the "Create Goal" button

Set up your goal with these key components:

• Goal Name: Choose a descriptive name (e.g., "Movie Day", "Field Trip")

• Total Points Needed: Set the target (e.g., 200 points for Movie Day)

• Daily Student Contribution Limit: Set maximum daily points for students to contribute

Daily Limit System

• Each goal has a customizable daily student contribution limit
