A.V.I.D.
Ms. Welch

2. A Goal A goal is a general statement about a desired
outcome with one or more specific objectives
A goal contains PRECISE terms
A goal can be accomplished in a designated
time frame

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

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

5. 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.

6. 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?

7. 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

8. 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
