  1. KSD PLC's SMART GOALS Oct 1, 2010

  2. What is a SMART goal? • SMART goals help educators on improving students achievement. • A SMART goal clarifies exactly what students should learn, the standard of learning expected, and the measures used to determine if students have achieved that standard.

  3. A SMART goal is…….. • Strategic and Specific- Linked to building goals. Focuses on specific student learning. Answers the question- Who & What? • Measurable- The success toward meeting the goals can be measured in students achievement. It answers the question- How? • Attainable- Goal can be achieved in a specific amount of time, with increased teacher effectiveness. It should be a stretch from current achievement data. • Reportable/Results Oriented/Relevant- The goals are aligned with building goals, and focus on increased student achievement in one defined area. • Time Based- Goals have a clearly defined time-frame including a target date. It answers the question- When?

  4. Examples of a SMART goal……. Not a SMART goal: • Students will improve their writing skills in English 9. (Does not identify a measurement or time frame. The “trend” is not measurable.) SMART goal: • The percentage of English 9 students scoring a 3 or better on the writing standards rubric will increase by the end of second term. • At least 90% of all 3rd grade students will successfully read at or above Level P on the District Reading Assessment by the end of 3rd grade.

  5. Why set SMART GOALS? • Focus • Motivation • Benchmarks • Rewards • Accountability

  6. Specific Goals • Events • Participants • Demographics • Surveys

  7. Measurable Goals • Data is good • Numbers can tell a story

  8. Attainable Goals • Realistic is good • “Stretch” goal is better (one that not only presents a particular challenge but also offers a special reward for the institution)

  9. Reportable Goals • Communicating is good (progress) • Keeping your promises (leads to credibility and trust)

  10. Time-Based Goals • Deadlines are good (motivating) • Celebrate achievement

  11. REMEMBER!!!! SMART GOALS Specific Measurable Attainable Reportable Time-Based

  12. How to Build a SMART GOALSix Easy Steps: STEP 1: BE SPECIFIC “Vague goals produce vague results.” • make your goal as detailed as possible  • make it clearly defined - anyone could come by and understand what you intend to accomplish.

  13. How to Build a SMART GOALSix Easy Steps: STEP 2: MAKE THEM MEASURABLE Always set goals that are measurable in some way. • establish a measuring stick for assessing the progress  • if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.

  14. How to Build a SMART GOALSix Easy Steps: STEP 3: MAKE THEM ATTAINABLE & REALISTIC • Create goals that are realistic for your situation and skill level.  Creating goals that are not attainable is very disempowering and will only serve to demotivate you. • Your deadlines must be realistic, or the task isn’t achievable.  State what you intend to accomplish and by when.

  15. How to Build a SMART GOALSix Easy Steps: STEP 4: BE... GENUINE - Really BELIEVE and WANT to SUCCEED  at the goal you've set;  OBSERVANT- Make "CARE-FULL" observations of whether you are reaching benchmarks successfully or not;  ACCEPTING - Be HONEST and accept successes as well as failures throughout your learning experience AND... LEARN - Be willing to have an open mind and enjoy the learning experience.
