1. SMART GOALS
As Related to APPR

2. SMART GOALS
There is absolutely no research correlation between success and family background, race, national origin, financial status, or even educational accomplishments. There is but one correlation with success, and that is ATTITUDE.
-Harry Wong

3. Using Goals for Results
S- Specific and Strategic
M- Measurable
A- Attainable
R- Results-Oriented
T- Time bound
S- narrowly focused, high leverage areas, GAN
M- use of both summative and formative measures, qualitative and quantitative data
A- a manageable stretch from present levels
Serves to inspire rather than discourage
R- goals describe the outcome or the result of the implementation
T- sets a timeframe for accomplishment

Focus: create shared clarity of thought, direction, and purpose
Reflection: learn from the past and identify ways of accomplishing goals
Collaboration: come together to share knowledge and ideas
-Conzemius & O’Neill
FOCUS
Where do we want to be?
REFLECTION
Where are we now?
COLLABORATION
How will we get there?
