25Goal-Setting Model
A mentee must formulate goals to travel the road to success. The SMART guidelines can help to
set effective goals.
SMART
S-Specific
A goal of graduating from high school is too general. Specify how this
will be accomplished. (Study more in order to receive better grades.)
M-Measurable
Establish criteria for how a goal is to be achieved. Measurable does not
refer to a timeline; it means determining a way to measure the mentee’s
success in completing the long-range goal.
A-Action-oriented
Be proactive in taking action that will result in reaching the desired
goal.
R-Realistic
Strive for attainable goals, considering the resources and constraints
relative to the situation.
T-Timely
Allow reasonable time to complete each goal, but not so much time the
mentee loses focus or motivation.

1996)
