  5. Review: 10 Reasons to Set Goals • Goals help you be who you want to be. • Goals stretch your comfort zone. • Goals boost your confidence. • Goals give your life purpose. • Goals make you more self-reliant. • Goals encourage you to trust your decisions. • Goals help you turn the impossible into the possible. • Goals prove that you can make a difference. • Goals improve your outlook on life. • Goals lead to feelings of satisfaction. Bachel, B.K. (2001).

  6. Review: Types of Goals • Short-term goals are ones that you will achieve in the near future (e.g., in a day, within a week, or possibly within a few months). • Long-term goals are ones that you will achieve over a longer period of time (e.g., one semester, one year, five years, or twenty years). Weinstein & Awalt, 2001

  7. SMART Goals • SMART Goals are: • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timely Microsoft, 2011 Adapted from Doran, 1981

  8. Become a Goal Getter! • Review your lifeline- • What is the dream you most want to accomplish in your future? • Create a SMART goal for that dream. • Here’s an example.

  9. Dream Example • Dream: to be a doctor • What is something I need to do to get there? • I will need to go to college and then medical school • I can write a long-term goal for graduating from medical school Microsoft, 2011

  10. SMART Goal Example • What do I want to accomplish? • I want to graduate form medical school. • How will I know when I achieved my goal? • I will graduate. • Is this goal realistic? Do I have the right tools? • If I work hard, take the right classes, have support from my friends, family, and teachers, I know I can do it. • Why is this goal important? • I can’t become a doctor unless I graduate from medical school. • When can I achieve this goal? • I’m in 6th grade - I have 6 years of middle and high school, 4 years of college, and 4 years of medical school. • I can achieve this goal in 14 years

  11. SMART Goal Example My goal: • I will graduate from medical school in 14 years. Microsoft, 2011

  12. Your SMART goal • On the back of your SMART goal paper, create a long-term goal that aligns with your dream that follows the SMART goal requirements. • When you and your partner have completed your SMART goals, pair up. • Check each other’s goals. Do they fulfill the criteria? Can your partner answer all of the questions on the handout?

  13. Directions • Now, write 3 short-term SMART goals (that you can accomplish this semester) that will help you reach your long-term goal. • Look at your past goals. Have you accomplished them? • If so, great job! • If not, are they still appropriate goals? • Turn them into SMART goals! • If they’re no longer appropriate, come up with new goals.

  14. Pair and Share • Pick a partner • Share your 3 short-term goal • Describe how each goal is • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timely
