2. What is a SMART Goal?

3. When drafting a goal, try to answer the 5 “Wh”
Questions:
 What do I want for my student to accomplish?
 Why is this goal important?
 Who will be involved?
 Where will it be implemented?
 Which resources or limitations are involved?
Goal should be clear and SPECIFIC.

GOALS

4. CREATING MEASURABLE
GOALS
A measurable goal should address questions such as:
 How will I track the progress?
 What tool/ rubrics will I use?
 How will I know when the goal is accomplished?
Having measurable goals will help track the progress, meet
deadlines and feel the excitement of getting closer to the goal.

5. CREATING ATTAINABLE GOALS
Attainable
An attainable goal should answer questions such as:
 How will my student accomplish this goal?
 How realistic is the goal, considering other factors?
Have goals that may stretch students’ abilities but
still remain possible. Remember : “A goal is not a wish”

6. • CREATING RELEVANT GOALS
A relevant goal can answer “yes” to the following questions:
 Is it worthwhile?
 Is it the right time to do this?
 Does it match our other efforts/needs?
 Am I the right person to help them reach this goal?
Having relevant goals ensures that your students’ goals
matter and that it aligns with the school’s mission and
vision.

7. CREATING TIME-BOUND GOALS
A time-bound goal will usually answer questions like:
 When do I want the goal to be accomplished?
 What can I do a month from now?
 What can I do a week from now?
 What can I do today?
Having target dates help you focus and have something to
work toward. A goal should be grounded within a time frame.
With no time frame tied to it, there is no sense of urgency.

Bound

8. • When writing goals, use action words. Keep direction of behavior, area
of need and level of attainment in mind. (Will be able to, increase,
incorporate, develop etc.- Bloom’s Verbs)
• Consider students current level of performance. These
goals cannot be uniform goals covering entire classes or
groups.
• 5 Required components of every goal:
 When? (Date) -Month, Term or Year the goal will be reviewed
 Who? (Student)
 What? (think of the skill you want to focus on)
 How? (Instrument of measure) (Manner, degree will be measured)
 Frequency? How often should the student meet the expectations over the
duration of the goal.
