  4. SMART Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time bound

  5. Measured with what? SMART Good Objectives!

  6. Specific • Describe an observable action or achievement • Be precise! • Link it to a rate, number or percentage. Example The phone will be answered quickly. The phone will be answered in no more then 4 rings.

  7. Measurable • A system or authority has to exist which allows for tracking and recording outcomes. • Grades, AIMS, Surveys, Dibels, • The system must be reliable and may be already in place.

  8. Achievable • There is a likelihood of success… • But it will not be easy. • Objectives need to be stretching. • Objectives need to be agreed upon, not enforced. • Setting targets that are plainly ridiculous will not motivate people. • Can the people tasked with meeting the objective really have an impact? • Do they have the resources, authority and skill?

  9. Relevant • Is the objective important to the goals of the program?

  10. Time Bound • This one is simple! • Is there a start or finish date clearly stated or defined? • How will you know when you’re finished? Where do you start?

  11. Measured with what? SMART Good Objectives!

  12. Who? • Regularly attending students? • Students in a specific grade? • Families attending family engagement events?

  13. What result are you seeking? • 75% of regularly attending students will improve in one or more core academics… • 50% of 4th graders attending 30+ days will advance one level… • 100% of family members attending Homework Power classes will report feeling more confident in helping their youth with homework….

  14. How will you measure? • 75% of regularly attending students will improve in one or more core academics as measured by grades.. • 50% of 4th graders attending 30+ days will advance one level on AIMS Writing Proficiency test. • 100% of family members attending Homework Power classes will report feeling more confident in helping their youth with homework on satisfaction survey.
