The document discusses Future Casting, a pedagogical framework to help students develop self-awareness, set goals, and increase productivity. It includes activities for students to explore interests, values and strengths through self-inventories and online tools. Students then use SWOT analysis and SMART goals to develop plans for skill development in areas of personal significance. The framework aims to guide students from their present selves to envisioned future selves through consistent, high-quality creative works and civic engagement.
