Self-Assessment Using an Improvement Activity from SPP FFY 2009, • Determine whether the Improvement Activity meets S.M.A.R.T. criteria using the S.M.A.R.T. Self-Assessment worksheet. • Provide as much detail as possible under each column heading. • Use information in the columns to write a S.M.A.R.T. Improvement Activity for the FFY 2010 APR.
S.M.A.R.T. Improvement Activity Writing Practice Write a statement defining the specific goal of the activity, incorporating S.M.A.R.T. the elements into the statement. Include what it is you want to improve, the actions you will take to complete this activity, your timeline, and how it meets the needs identified by the indicator data (e.g., I-14). Identify additional resources needed to facilitate this Improvement Activity (e.g., technical assistance from National Centers, money from state, increased FTE).
