SMART Goal Setting

In order to help you complete your project we will begin to set and meet goals each week.  The goal setting process will occur every Tuesday for warm-up.  To help you learn to set and meet your individual goals, we are going to look at protocol for goal setting that professionals use. The idea is to set smart goals that you can accomplish. So why do we call them SMART goals? Take a minute right now and think about each letter in the word SMART: S-M-A-R-T. What word might each letter stand for that would help you set and meet goals? Try and figure out at least one and leave your inference as a comment.

SMART goal indicators
  • S - Simple - keep your goals directly related to the task at hand. Use your backwards plans.
  • M - Measurable - your goal should show growth with demonstrable evidence.
  • A - Achievable - your goal should be something that you can accomplish with effort.
  • R - Realistic - no amount of effort or hard work can overcome an unrealistic goal.
  • T - Time Table - your goal should have a deadline.
Today we will set our first SMART goal together to help start our research into our project idea and develop a list of resources for our blog.
