Setting SMART Targets
![Page 2: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What are we going to do?
Define what ‘SMART’ targets are Explore some examples of SMART targets to
improve our ability to set them with students Analyse some assessments from the ILP and
come up with some SMART targets of our own
![Page 3: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What’s SMART?
Good targets need to be:
![Page 4: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why?
If set targets are not SMART, there’s no way to tell if they’ve been successful or not
![Page 5: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
An example
“I want more money.”
Have I succeeded if I find 1p in the street?
What if I find 50p?
How would I know?
![Page 6: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Another example
“I want to lose weight.”
Have I succeeded if I lose 2 grams?
Have I succeeded if I lose a kilogram?
What if it takes me 5 years to do it?
Am I still successful?
![Page 7: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What does SMART mean?
Let’s look at what each letter stands for....
![Page 8: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
S is for Specific
“Specific” means that you have to say what you want to do, very clearly.
![Page 9: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Specific Targets..
“I want to lose weight” is NOT specific.
“I want to lose 4 kilos” is specific.
![Page 10: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
M is for Measurable
Measurable targets tell you exactly what you need to do to succeed.
“I want to be able to run 800 metres faster” is not measurable. How much faster do I want to be able to go?
![Page 11: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A Measurable Target
“I want to run 800 metres in 2.5 minutes” is measurable.
If I run 800 metres in 4 minutes, I know I haven’t succeeded yet!
![Page 12: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A is for Achievable.
“I’m going to earn £3,000 by next week” is probably NOT achievable – unless your job is robbing banks!
Neither is:“I am going to run 800 metres
in 2 seconds.”
![Page 13: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An Achievable Target
An achievable target has to be something you can do.
“I am going to read for 10 minutes every day this week” is probably achievable for most people.
![Page 14: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
R is for Relevant
What I’m going to do needs to help me to get what I want.
If I want to get fit, finding out about famous footballers won’t help.
![Page 15: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A Relevant Target
It would be more useful to do some football practice every day!
![Page 16: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
T is for Timed
If I don’t know how much time I have, I don’t know when to take action.
How hard do I have to train?
When does my work have to be completed?
![Page 17: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Timed Target
“I want to be able to run 800 metres in 2.5 minutes by August 5th, this year” is a timed target.
Now I can arrange a training routine.
![Page 18: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So remember...
Targets must be:SpecificMeasurableAchievableRelevant Timed

![Page 21: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Your task
Read the background information and suggested strategies on the hand-outs (this is what you will see on the ILP)
See if you can come up with three SMART targets based on this information
![Page 22: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TM – “Encourage TM to proofread his work to check spelling and punctuation”
Read back each piece of my written work before I hand it in for the rest of the term.
![Page 23: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CN – “Struggles with reading and may need support from an LSA with this”
I will go to the library and take out a reading book by September 25th.
I will read for ten minutes every night until November 1st.
![Page 24: Making sense of target setting! Setting SMART Targets](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e845503460f94b85a24/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GA – “Support GA to structure his ideas and written work by encouraging planning using mind-maps.”
I will download the ‘my study bar’ application onto my P drive by October 1st.
I will learn to use the mind-mapping tool by practising three times a week by October 15th.
