SMART

//**SMART Goal Structure:**// A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six "W" questions: __**Measurable**__ To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as:# How much?
 * __**Specific**__
 * 1) Who: Who is involved?
 * 2) What: What do I want to accomplish?
 * 3) Where: Identify a location.
 * 4) When: Establish a time frame.
 * 5) Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
 * 6) Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, "Get in shape." But a specific goal would say, "Join a health club and workout 3 days a week."
 * 1) How many?
 * 2) How will I know when it is accomplished? Data collection tools (surveys, checklists, assessments….). Informal(qualitative), formal (quantitative)**__Attainable__** When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. Keep your goals simple.


 * __Realistic__**
 * This is not a synonym for "easy."
 * Realistic, in this case, means "do-able."
 * It means that the learning curve is not a vertical slope; that the skills needed to do the work are available. >**__Timely__**
 * A goal should be grounded within a time frame. ||


 * //TIER 3: School-Based Indicators//**:
 * __**School Based Indicators**__
 * 1) Student Learning SMART Goal
 * 2) Evidence of Impact
 * 3) Action strategies
 * 4) Professional Learning
 * 5) Budget Resources
 * 6) Student learning outcomes ||

//**Examples:**//
 * **//Note://** There are many different SMART goal structures/templates - choose one that fits your situation/environment.
