To help the high school principal motivate the teacher by setting goals, it is important to first define the term "goal." The term goal encompasses the meanings of many related terms such as goal, intention, goal, goal, and task (Locke and Latham 1990). However, there are differences between them. According to Locke and Latham (1990), goals can be defined as the purpose of an action, that is, what one wants to achieve after carrying out tasks or completing an action. For example, one goal for the principal is to raise the results of his fifth-year students in NAPLAN tests above the national average to attract more students to choose his school. Furthermore, goal setting can influence teachers in three main ways (Locke and Latham 1990). First, goals can help you focus on goal-related actions. Secondly, it plays an energizing role; the more difficult the objective, the more effort teachers will dedicate to achieving it. Finally, individuals might become more persistent if their goals are important to them. In the process of achieving goals, there are different tasks to complete at different levels. So, with respect to the goal, tasks are the specific or detailed jobs we do to achieve the end goal. The headteacher's aim, for example, is to raise overall results above the national level by 15 points by the end of this year. You need to complete several tasks to reach the goal. For example, improve reading skills by assigning three related readings and questions each week to students to increase reading speed, or have one-on-one tutoring on student submissions to improve writing skills. Dimensions of Goals ( Specificity and Proximity) As we know, the final goal for the half of the paper is determined by the goal set by the principal. Furthermore, the principal must provide feedback during the process and must consider that some unintended consequences may also occur.
