S.M.A.R.T. goals S=Specific M=Measureable A=Achievable R=relevant T=time-bound

S=Specific Goal objectives should address the 5ws.. Who, what, when, where, and why Use action verbs For example: Earn________________________ Create______________________ Spend ______________________

M=Measurable Goal objectives should include numeric (#) or descriptive measures that define quality How will you, or your parent(s), or teacher(s) know when the goal has been successfully met? For example, by the end of the quarter, weekly, next month, etc.

A=Achievable Goal objectives should be within your control and influence Goals may be a “stretch” but still feasible Do you have the resources to achieve goal?

R=Relevant Goals should be important to your current needs (as a student, daughter/son, team member) How will the goal help you? And ultimately your family, community, etc

T=Time bound Goal objectives should identity a define target date for completion And specific action steps that are needed for achieving the goal Incorporate specific dates
