SMART Goals
Objectives:
SMART GOALS
S = Specific
Goals should be to the point, focused and clearly define the what, why, and how of your intended plan. WHAT are you
going to do in the next year? Use action words such as organize, lead, practice, develop, plan, build, etc. WHY is the goal
important to do at this time? What do you want to ultimately accomplish? HOW are you going to do it?
M= Measurable
Goals should have a specific target to measure so you know exactly when a goal is achieved. For example, a goal to "do
better in Geometry" is vague and doesn't explain how you'd like to improve. A goal that reads "I would like to attend an
extra tutoring session for Geometry by December 1st" is a measurable goal that you can check off when you complete.
A = Attainable
Goals should be ones that you can accomplish. While goals should stretch your thinking or will a little, they should not be
so far out of reach that you lose commitment quickly
R = Realistic
Goals should be practical ones you can achieve with some effort! Too difficult and you set the stage for failure, but too low
sends the message that you aren't very capable.
T = Timely
Set a time frame for the goal: next week or the end of the semester? Putting an end point on your goal gives you a clear
target to work towards. Without a time, often you will put the goal on the back burner and lost commitment.
Reflection Questions
1. Why is setting goals an important task?
2. Which part of SMART is the most important? Why?
3. What are the benefits of setting goals according to SMART?
4. How can setting goals help you be a better leader?
- Gain skills in setting goals.
- Develop an understanding of the importance of goal setting.
