The S.M.A.R.T goals method can help you develop achievable goals by making them:

Specific: Clearly defined
Measurable: Able to be measured
Achievable: Able to be reached with existing resources and staffing
Relevant: Focused on your priority area and directly related to the findings from the data
Time-bound: Specified as needing to be achieved within 12 months

EXAMPLE: The goal “Educators are able to refer children” is made S.M.A.R.T through the following adaptations:

Specific: Is your goal clearly defined? What do you want to accomplish? Who needs to be included?
Educators refer children who demonstrate language delay
Measurable: Is your goal able to be measured? How will you measure it? How will you know if there has been a change?
Educators identify and refer 90% of children who demonstrate language delay
Achievable: Is your goal able to be reached with existing resources and staffing?
Educators identify and refer 90% of children who demonstrate language delay
Relevant: Is your goal focused on your priority area and directly related to the findings from the data?
Educators identify and refer 90% of children who we have identified at risk of language delay
Time-bound: Is your goal able to be achieved within the SRF cycle (12 months)?
Educators identify and refer 90% of children who we have identified at risk of language delay by the end of Term 4
