The document discusses setting goals for Phi Theta Kappa chapters. It emphasizes that goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound (SMART). Goals must motivate members and be important to the chapter. The process involves writing down goals using affirmative language, breaking them into action items, monitoring progress, and assessing if goals remain relevant. Examples of goals provided include a scholarship goal focusing on a case study challenge, a leadership goal of hosting a regional event, and a service goal creating a cell phone recycling program.
Goals are what take us forward in life; they are the oxygen to our dreams. They are the first steps to every journey we take and are also our last. It’s very important that you realize the significance and importance of goal-setting and apply this knowledge in your life.

Understanding types of goals, ways to define goals, reasons for setting goals, goal setting techniques and tips for goals achievement, Understand difference between goal and vision. Also take a pledge to achieve your goals set by you. Learn its summary by way of a poem
Congratulations, your students are now ready to develop plans for their chosen career and implement them!
From the previous session, they were able to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and analyzed opportunities and threats that run with them. They also learned that SWOT is not only an effective tool for business but is also beneficial for job seekers and students like them who aim to climb the career and success ladder.
In this module, they will learn the step by step procedure in making plans depending on their timeframe. This will assure them of a more structured and reliable implementation of plans that will lead to achieving goals. Finally, this session will enable them to focus their talents, skills, and values to the career and life plans that they dream of.
So, let us now take off and begin their future today!

S.M.A.R.TGoals
After reading the PDFs on Goal Setting and Professional Goals and Personalities in this week’s Reading, write your own S.M.A.R.T. academic/professional goal, discuss why goal setting is important, why they will help you, and how you will achieve them.
Whether you are planning long or short-term goals, you want every goal to be a
SMART one:
Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Timed
[S] Specific
Each goal should be a detailed statement of your desired result. Exactly what is it you wish to accomplish? It is difficult to determine action steps for vague goals and even harder to recognize when they have been achieved.
[M] Measurable
Identify the means by which you will achieve each goal. How will you know when you have reached it? There are two types of goals - performance goals and outcome goals. Keep in mind that you will always have more control over performance than you will over outcome so set performance goals whenever possible.
[A] Action-oriented
Describe your goals using action verbs. What will you do (step by step) to reach your goal?
[R] Realistic
Choose goals that are possible and achievable. Who do you know who has achieved goals similar to yours? Goals set too high will discourage you while goals set too low won't challenge and motivate you.
[T] Timed
Determine deadlines for each of your goals. Deadlines can be flexible and adjusted as needed but deadlines that specify time limits help keep you focused and moving.
After reading the PDFs on Goal Setting and Professional Goals and Personalities in this week’s Reading, write your own S.M.A.R.T. goals using the template below, why they will help you, and how you will achieve them.
Name:
My SMART Academic/Career Goal:
How this goal is specific:
How this goal is measurable:
How this goal is achievable
How this goal is realistic:
How this goal is timed:
Discuss why goal setting is an important part of planning for success.

To answer these questions, you need to set goals, and break the big goals into smaller steps that are milestones on your journey to completing the goals. Knowing your goals and identifying the milestones gives you focus and direction. Perhaps more importantly, goals provide you with benchmarks for determining whether you are actually succeeding. For example, a million dollars in the bank is only proof of success if one of your goals is to amass riches. If your goal is to practice acts of philanthropy, then keeping money in a personal bank account is not success. Effective goal setting is different than just specifying what you want. A chapter officer who says “I want us to be a Five Star Chapter,” or a regional officer who says “I want us to have a regional Honors in Action project” has not set a goal, just voiced a desire. Goal setting is a process that starts with careful consideration of what you want to achieve (the desire), ends with a lot of hard work to actually do it, and in between there are some very well-defined steps that transcend the specifics of each goal. Knowing these steps will allow you to formulate goals that you can accomplish.
Another way to approach this is to think about the high priorities in your life, the chapter’s development (talk to the advisor and your college administration), or the state of the region (talk to your regional coordinator) and set goals that relate to the priorities. This creates focus for the goal setting process so you don’t end up with too many goals. It also creates a sense of urgency and “must do/can do” spirit. Without focus, urgency, or the attitude that the goal must be achieved, it’s easy to procrastinate or dart around to different projects which can lead to disappointment and frustration that you aren’t accomplishing anything. These are de-motivating feelings that can be destructive for a person’s psyche, or a chapter or regional officer team. When exploring a particular idea for a goal, write down why it’s an important, valuable objective and consider how you will convince others that it is a worthwhile goal. A few sentences that can be printed on each meeting agenda or each progress report about the goal can help maintain focus and urgency.
Writing down a goal is a very simple way to make it tangible. It is also a key way to share the goal with others who can support you or your group and help to hold you accountable for it. Once written, you can post them in places so you are often reminded of them: at the top of your calendar or your planner pages, on the refrigerator, as a screen saver on your computer, on the bulletin board in the office. Be firm when you write goals; use the word “will” instead of “would like to” or “we hope to.” For example, “We will enter the Hallmark Awards competition in 2009,” not “We hope to enter the Hallmark Awards competition in 2009.” Definite language defines the future state and expresses much more confidence. Be positive when you write goals. For example, “This semester, we will induct 90% of the students earning invitations to become members of Phi Theta Kappa” is more motivating than “This semester, we will reduce the number of students who choose not to accept the invitations to become members,” and besides being framed in a negative way, the second one does not have a concrete measure and ”allows” for success with just one less student who declines to accept membership.
Set reminders, check with others, go over the goals and their importance in meetings so that you know the team is working on the action items and to check what additional action items might be necessary to reach the goal because of changed circumstances or increased awareness of the work involved. You also need to assess whether the goals are still relevant, important, and necessary.
You have probably heard of “SMART goals” already. There are many variations on what SMART stands for, and here is a quick synopsis — Goals should be: S pecific, simple (clearly understood) M easurable (you will know exactly when it is attained) A ttainable, accountable (can be done, and people to do it) R elevant, realistic (important, valuable, and the resources exist to get it done) T imely and Time Bound (it’s the right time, and there is enough time, and we have a time in mind or there is a deadline for completing the goal)
