  1. SMARTERObjectives S-specific performance M-measurable A-attainable R-results focused T-time bound E-encompassing R-reviewed frequently

  2. SMARTER Objectives Defined • Specific-this allows you to clearly define your area of performance and desired result. • Example: 100% of our children will meet the state established goal for NCLB by 2013-2014 • Measurable-this indicates that you require some kind of measurement to assess success. • Example: In 2005-2006 62% of our student body has met the state testing goal. With 100% required by 2013-2014 we will increase our pass rate by a minimum of 7% per year.

  3. SMARTER Objectives Defined • Attainable-Smarter objectives must be attainable but at the same time present a challenge. They must stretch the individual, team or school to perform at a higher level (move out of your comfort zone). • Example: reducing the school dropout rate to zero. • Results-Objective must describe the results to be achieved. Not an activity but rather an accomplishment that can be measured.

  4. SMARTER Objectives Defined • Time bound-all objectives must have a time component. Consider the example we used for NCLB, it is clearly time bound. • Encompassing-objectives must address and contribute to the overarching mission of the organization. How does the objective relate to other priorities? • Reviewed frequently-to achieve objectives they must be reviewed regularly. Establishing benchmarks allows for the opportunity to measure success and make adjustments.
