SMART Objectives

Objectives to assist program reach and/or quality when the statewide program:• is below a national, tier or regional average,• has observed a decrease in an area that usually was

strong, and/or• believes variables impacting reach/quality are being

addressed or will improve through strategic actions.

SMART Objectives may not be changed during the 5-year period unless the objective is met or there are changes with the federal evaluation question that creates an issue.

SMART Objectives Next Five Year Plan

• Program advancement for program monitoring – Program monitoring for program quality and

program reach per National EFNEP goals– Strategies: training, monitoring data, plan for

monitoring volunteer classes– Implementation fidelity

Strategies for Final Months (June-Sept 2015)

• Record all youth enrolled, whether they have a pre-post or not and even if they have less than 6 hours.

• Graduates will be considered to have a minimum of 6 hours.• If you only have a pre-test and no post test you do not have to

enter the pre-test.• If you have volunteers that did not provide names or IDs, save

all pre-posts for your documentation of class delivery; label site, grade level, date range on the folder. You will not be able to enter any pre-post data unless it is paired by individual youth.

• Collect hours of delivery and preparation.

HELP: Success Stories• We need a minimum of 3 good stories. They do not need to

be in EFNEP Delivers Format. Please provide the following so your success story reads like a story:– Stories should evoke emotion, provides information that our data

doesn’t capture. – Participant’s situation and nutrition, food budgeting, food security,

physical activity challenge prior to being enrolled in EFNEP – as it applies to the participant.

– Partner involved? Site location– What was done = EFNEP’s / UCCE’s response– Result/Outcome: Participant and/or family's success– Use a fake name to ensure confidentiality (note this once in the story

with an *); this makes the story more personal. • If you have a direct quote, please use quotation marks (it must be

readable).

Thank you!
