SmartGoals 000

The document provides a template and guidelines for writing SMART goals to improve student achievement. A SMART goal is strategic, specific, and measurable with clearly defined measures of student learning and achievement. It must also be attainable, results-oriented, relevant, and rigorous while aligned to curriculum standards. Additionally, a SMART goal includes a specific timeframe to assess whether the goal was achieved. An example of a non-SMART goal is provided along with an improved SMART goal that identifies the percentage of students expected to score proficient on a writing assessment by a certain term.

SMART GOALS – TEMPLATE

SMART goals help educators on improving student achievement. A SMART goal


clarifies exactly what students should learn, the standard of learning expected, and the
measures used to determine if students have achieved that standard.

A SMART goal is:


Strategic and Specific – Linked to building CIP goals. Focuses on specific
student learning. Answers the question – Who and What?

Measurable – The success toward meeting the goals can be measured in


student achievement. It answers the question - How?

Attainable – Goal can be achieved in a specific amount of time, with


increased teacher effectiveness. It should be a stretch from current
achievement data. Now that Bloomington teachers have been creating and
evaluating SMART goals, we are asking that teachers shift from identifying
percentage gains to trend data. (See example for details).

Results Oriented / Relevant / Rigorous – The goals are aligned with a


building CIP goal, and focus on increased student achievement in one defined
area.

Time Bound – Goals have a clearly defined time-frame including a target


date. It answers the question – When?

Examples:

Not a SMART goal:


• Students will improve their writing skills in English 9.
Does not identify a measurement or time frame. The
trend” is not measurable.

SMART goal:
• The percentage of English 9 students scoring a 3 or better on the writing standards
rubric will increase by the end of second term.
• Data study may have revealed a trend indicating at best 72% of students have
received a 3 or higher on the standard. An increasing trend would be anything above
73%, with an ultimate goal towards 100%.
