Which term best describes the process of reviewing progress and outcomes in a goal-setting system?

• A. Planning and Education
• B. Evaluation and Reevaluation
• C. Generalization
• D. Setting Customized Goals

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is the ongoing check-in process in goal-setting—looking at data about progress and outcomes to see if goals are being met and what should come next. The best term is evaluation and reevaluation. Evaluation is the act of assessing results, comparing them to targets, and determining what’s working or where adjustments are needed. Reevaluation follows when you use that assessment to revisit and possibly modify goals or plans, keeping the process responsive to actual progress and changing circumstances. This combination precisely captures both reviewing progress and deciding on future steps.

Planning and Education focuses on creating the plan and teaching the necessary skills, not the ongoing review of how well the plan is working. Generalization is about applying skills in new contexts, not about monitoring outcomes. Setting Customized Goals concerns the initial creation of goals, not the review and adjustment cycle that evaluation and reevaluation describe.
