  13. “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where—” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat. ¡Lewis Carroll From Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (2002, p. 53) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland

  14. “SMART goals are gap-closing goals: We use them to attain a result that is different from what currently exists. The successive movement toward a SMART goal brings us closer and closer to our desired end state-our vision. Inherent in this definition is the need for change. As Einstein so clearly put it, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results." Anne Conzemius;Jan O'Neill. The Power of SMART Goals: Using Goals to Improve Student Learning (Kindle Locations 542-544). Kindle Edition.

  16. SMART Research “Feelings of success in the workplace occur to the extent that people see that they are able to grow and meet job challenges by pursuing and attaining goals that are important and meaningful.” Locke, E. A., & Latham, G. P. (2006). New Directions in Goal Setting Theory. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 15(5), 265-268.

  17. Why SMART Goals? BENEFITS Locke, E. A., & Latham, G. P. (2006). New Directions in Goal Setting Theory. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 15(5), 265-268.

  18. SMART Goals Focus on results-oriented goals rather than process-oriented goals.

  19. Specific and Strategic Goals are clearly stated, long-term and aligned with data.

  20. Measurable Results can be determined with quantitative or qualitative measures.

  21. Achievable The result can be reached, even if it is a stretch goal. The goal is worthy of an educator’s commitment of time and effort.

  22. Results-oriented Goals are data driven. Benchmarks are established for monitoring progress through the year. High expectations are set for teacher and student growth.

  23. Time Bound Benchmark and completion dates set a sense of urgency and establish momentum. Each person involved is accountable for working towards the goal.

  24. SMART Goals Focus on results-oriented goals rather than process-oriented goals. This is one of the most challenging components of a SMART Goal to write.

  25. Assessing SMART Goals:Resultsvs. Process “Resultsgoals focus on the desired result itself, not the‘process’or the means they assume necessary to achieve that result.” Peter Senge, 1990. The Fifth Discipline.

  26. Process vs. ResultsMeans vs. Ends • Implement an integrated math /science curriculum for PK-2. • Develop a balanced literacy program for primary students. • Adopt the letter people program for all PK classrooms. • Reduce failure rate in math for all 6th grade students. • Increase the number of students who are reading at benchmark by the end of 1st grade. • Eliminate violent behavioral incidences.

  27. Process or Results? • Sixteen percent of the 2013-2014 graduating cohort of Working Hard County Schools will achieve college and career ready status on the ACT four core areas before graduation. • All teachers will participate in PLCs. • Ninth graders will increase proficiency from 78% to 88% with English I in 2012-2013 as indicated on SRI Lexile data, formative assessment data, and summative assessment data by May 1, 2013. • Develop walkthrough instrument to measure use of problem based learning.
