SMART+goal+examples

//These were our parting thoughts about this coming year's goals.//
 * Develop mini lessons on this same strand
 * Create a new test to determine effectiveness in each tri?
 * Look at effective teacher strategies to improve on task behaviour.

What do you think? Which should we pursue and why?

I found these online at: http://www4.asq.org/blogs/edu/2006/04/how_smart_are_your_goals.html

I thought it might be useful to read them. Ex - SMART GOAL EXAMPLES

Sample SIP goals - Rewritten in  SMART format S=Specific  M=Measurable   A= Achievable   R=Results-Oriented     T=Time bound/Target

1.	Every student will show evidence of one year of growth in mathematics each year in attendance.

SMART Goal =  Math Problem-solving During the 2006-07 school year, all students will improve their math problem-solving skills as measured by a 1.0 year gain in national grade equivalent growth from the 2005-06 to the 2006-07 ITBS math problem solving sub test.

2.	Reduce levels of non-proficient students by 10% in all eight-grade sub groups on ITBS math concepts and estimation.

SMART Goal =  Math Concepts and Estimation During the 2006-07 school year, non-proficient students (as indicated by the ITBS math concepts and estimation subtest) at Sample School will improve their math concepts and estimation skills by 5% as measured by an increase in the percentage of students scoring in the “high” and “proficient” levels on the ITBS math concepts and estimation subtest.

3.	Students will show one year’s growth in Language Total as measured by ITBS.

SMART Goal =  Vocabulary During the 2006-07 school year, non-proficient students (as indicated by the ITBS vocabulary subtest) at Sample School will improve their vocabulary skills by 5% as measured by an increase in the percentage of students scoring in the “high” and “proficient” levels on the ITBS vocabulary assessment.

4.	95% of all 11th graders receiving f/r lunch will score above the 40th NPR on ITEDs. (increase from 80%)

SMART Goal =   Math computation During the 2006-07 school year, proficient 11th grade students in the f/r subgroup group (as indicated by the ITED math computation) at Sample School will increase by 15% as measured by the ITED math computation subtest.

and here is a ppt from the same site that explains (no audio) how to write SMART goals.
