Why SMART Goals?

Goals that state a Desired Future Achievement

SMART Goals assist in “getting focused”

SMART goals help define exactly what the “future state” looks like

SMART goals measure the progress of achieving the “future state”

SMART goals demonstrate how work “aligns” and relates to overall focus

S – Specific

M – Measureable

A – Attainable

R – Realistic/Relevant/Results Oriented

T - Timely

SMART Goals

25

How To Write SMART Goals

S - Specific• Well Defined, the outcome is clear• Clear to ANYONE who has basic knowledge of the

project• Provides enough detail so there is no indecision as to

what is to be donePoor Example

I will lose weight.

Better Example

I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10,000 steps a day.

25

How To Write SMART Goals

S - Specific5 – W’sWho is involved?

What do I want to accomplish?

Why is this goal important?

Where will the action take place?

When will the goal be achieved?

For Educators link to the bigger picture – school goals/climate.

25

How To Write SMART Goals

M - Measurable• Know if the goal is obtainable and how far way the completion

date is• Know when it has been achieved • Identify the measurement instrument to be used• Able to determine if it has been achieved because you can count

it or see itPoor Example

I will lose weight.

Better Example

I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10,000 steps a day.

25

How To Write SMART Goals

A - Attainable• Agreement with all the stakeholders what the goals should be• Achievable a goal may be a stretch, but is possible with the

current team and resources• Clearly defined steps

Poor Example

I will lose weight.

Better Example

I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10,000 steps a day.

25

How To Write SMART Goals

R - Realistic• Who is the main person responsible?• Who are the support people?• What are the urgent needs?• The goal is aligned with the results expected and the direction

provided by the district CSIP and building goals.

Poor Example

I will lose weight.

Better Example

I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10,000 steps a day.

goal• Time is appropriate for keeping goal

performance focused and on targetPoor Example

Writing SMART Goals

Original: This year every student will show evidence of one year of growth in mathematics.

• SMART Goal: During the 2013-14 school year, 85% of all students will improved their math problem solving skills as measured by a 1.0 year gain in national grade equivalent growth from the 2013-14 to the 2014-15 ITBS math problem solving sub test.

One more thing about goals…..

What are appropriate goals?What are important goals?What kinds of goals are worthwhile?

“Helping Teachers Set Goals” by Thomas McGreal from Ed Leadership 2/80

25

There are three categories of goals:

Program Goals:

• To review and make appropriate changes in a 7th grade ELA program

• To introduce the new reading series to the 2nd grade team• To improve articulation between science programs in 4th

and 5th grade• To review the thematic units used in my 5th grade social

studies program

25

There are three categories of goals:

Learner Goals:

• At least 80 % of the students will be able to correctly solve at least 80% of the problems on a long division test.

• The students will be able to demonstrate the ability to write a descriptive essay by scoring a 3 on a 4 point rubric by the end of the first semester.

• At least 70% of my students will be reading at grade level by February 15.

25

There are three categories of goals:

Teaching Goals:

• Tailor my questioning style to meet the needs of different ability groups in my classroom

• Develop procedures for increasing the amount and quality of student-teacher verbal interaction during classroom discussions

• Use formal cooperative learning strategies involving heterogeneous groups to help students prepare for unit tests.

Class Profile tool empowers Resident Educators with theinformation necessary to create a class profile to inform their understanding of the students’ varied learning needs.

The Intentional Instructional Grouping tool allows Resident Educators to use data tointentionally group students for various activities specific to students’ learning goals.

This data tool allows Resident Educators to identify a limited number of students andmonitor their learning in depth.

Effective teaching is a dynamic mixture of expertise in a vast array of instructional

strategies combined with a profound understanding of the individual students

in class and their needs at particular points in time.

Berliner in Marzano (2007) The Art and Science of Teaching

Instructional Planning: Cycles 1, 2 & 3 Translate data gathered into action Action influences instruction Explore the “thinking behind the thinking” in

instructional planning Reflect on the lesson after the instruction Examine student work to monitor student learning

The Power of Connection and

Reflection

Reflection and Revision: Analyzing Individual Student Workenables resident educators to examine their practice through the in-depth analysis of the two students they previously identified in the Monitoring of Student Learning protocol. Multiple sources of student

artifacts should be collected to support the analysis of each student’s work.

1. Review the highlighted questions found on Instructional Cycle 1

2. Next, using your lesson plan or a plan that has been provided to you begin the reflection process.

3. Record your responses to the Instructional Cycle Document. Use paper-pencil or electronic version.

Guiding Questions for Examining Student Work Is the work good enough, that is, does it meet our expectations for

high quality work? What is “good enough,” and how can we illustrate good work for

students? What do the students’ responses indicate about the effectiveness

of a prompt or assignment? Have you attempted this task as written? How might this assignment be improved to support high-quality student performance?

What does the work tell about how well the student understands the topic of the assignment?

How does the range of work from a single student demonstrate growth in (_____) over time? To what extent is the student challenging him-or herself? In what ways?

Are there patterns and trends that relate to the class profile information?

How will this information be used in future lesson and assessment design?

From Looking Together at Student Work by Blythe, Allen & Powell (1999)

Elements of an Effective Lesson

How is it possible for a teacher to include every element of an

effective lesson in a lesson plan and deliver an ineffective

lesson?

Pre-Conference Observation Activity

• Review the Physical Education lesson plan. (Pg.126)

• Generate five questions that you would ask of this teacher in a pre-conference regarding the lesson plan.

…How can we be reflective practitioners if the experience from which we’re supposed to be learning disappears from view as soon as it happens?…an answer to this question is “artifacts.” Artifacts are things– objects, tools, instruments– that human beings construct because they are needed but don’t exist in nature. Constructing an artifact is by definition an unnatural act. And yet, I would argue that artifacts are the key to learning by experience.

Lee Shulmann (2002) Forgive & Remember: Launching the Next Generation of Teachers

Both the support of teacher development and the evaluation of teacher performance require evidence of practice…. Conversations about teaching must be grounded in actual events, in actions or statements, in artifacts, or in decisions teachers have made. Without such grounding, impressions of teachers’ skills are based entirely on the observers’ own idiosyncratic views of teaching and their understandings of what has occurred and what those events mean…. Mentors and coaches, no less than evaluators, depend for their work on evidence of practice.

Charlotte Danielson (2008) The Handbook of Professional Practice
