SMART Goals for 2010

An article by Darin Wagner    No Comments

When I was teaching a leadership class many years ago, we always spent some time of the process of goal setting, both for individuals and for organizations. Somewhere I came across the acronym of “SMART” for teaching this skill.

• Specific - Goals should be specific and not general.
• Measureable - If goals cannot be measured, how can one determine if they were reached?
• Achieveable - Can this goal be accomplished?
• Realistic - Is the goal realistic?
• Time frame – Goals should have a specific time frame in which they should be completed.

Therefore, I resolve…

• to post to this blog at least three times a week for the coming year.
• to find a  variety of resources that are practical for classroom use.
• to spend more time discussing how these resources can be used in the classroom.

What are your goals for 2010?
