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%.
