Goal Setting

For my first goal, it is imperative that I obtain an 80% or higher in all my classes for at least one semester during my first two years at University of Maryland (UMD). Accomplishing this goal will guarantee my continuation of the Academic Achievement Program (AAP), and having a B or higher in every class will exempt me from falling below a 2.0. This is SMART goal because it states exactly what I want to achieve for all my classes in one semester. It is measurable and timely because I have given myself four chances to achieve one goal for only one semester. It is achievable if I take advantage of all of my resources, such as my professors, peers, tutors, and the writing center. I will utilize these

Goals are a part of everyday life. From gaining the strength to get out of bed in the morning to winning that blue medal around your neck, everybody has made a goal once in their life. Sometimes it can be as easy as saying you’re not going to eat that last cupcake on the platter in front of you or as hard as saying “Hello” to that special someone in your life that you find adorable, either way you have made a goal. It’s also important to remember there is short term goals and long term goals. Short term goals are easier to achieve and can be very helpful in leading up to your long term goals. We can even classify our goals into personal goals, academic goals, and professional goals, as well as others.

With 33 million Americans utilizing healthcare services as a means to manage mental health conditions and illnesses, adequate delivery of mental healthcare, treatment, and practice is becoming increasingly more important in the American landscape of wellness (SAMHSA, 2004a). The mental health system continues to be a challenging area of healthcare, due to: increased usage of coercion into treatment, diversity in care delivery systems, an unevolved quality measurement mechanism, and a drastically different business and marketplace infrastructure. These factors added to the, already, present stigma associated with mental health, culminates into an extremely

Goals must be stated in measurable terms, i.e., how can you tell you have accomplished that goal? Identify dates for accomplishing each goal.

The efforts to reaching a goal begin with self-discipline and confidence that accomplishing the goals with being another milestone completed within the timeframe allotted. Reviewing each goal over and over is something that will happen on a regular basis until satisfaction of the results. Making one’s self-accountable to family and friends is one of the best ways to reach a goal. The family and friends support an individual with his or her vision to do better in life. Determining the big picture of the goals, selecting activities to help achieve goals and choosing daily tasks to make up the chosen goal is heading in a positive direction (Laureate Education,

With the SMART goal setting I have set my goal which I feel think the time of my lesson two hours I will be able to finish my lesson on Healthy Digestive System and Eating Habits with all the mini activities that I have plan. My goal is specific because I want to teach my student to know how to be healthy from this young age for their future. This is measurable because I can track my student progress thru the journal that I will be giving my student by the end of the class and I believe my students will progress them self to keep their body healthy. My goal is achievable because if my students are determined to stay healthy, they are able to stay healthy till the end without any problem. From my lesson, I feel my students will be able to measure

The strategy I use for setting and achieving goals is simple. First, I identify the goal that I want to achieve. Then, break it down into smaller long-term and short term targets that I must reach to ultimately attain my main goal. Lastly, I simply start working on the goal I set out to achieve. Pursuing this further, the SMART goal method will help me become more successful in all areas related to the SMART acronym (Specific, Measurable, Attainable/ Achievable, Realistic/ Relevant, Time bound). I will be specific, more detailed, which odds are that I will be successful. Being measurable will be beneficial to my success at measuring progress toward attaining a goal or anything else in life. Attainable will help me become successful at

Given a prompt, 8th grade students at Wasatch Jr. High will be able to write a measurable fitness goal using at least 3 principles from the F.I.T.T. principle. After having written a fitness goal, these students will then be able to evaluate their progress on that goal by using the F.I.T.T. principle.

1.SMART goal setting stands for Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic, and Timely. For a goal to be specific, the question to ask one's self is “do you know what, how, where, when, with whom, and how long you will do this?” For a goal to be measurable, the question to ask one's self is “will you know when it is done?” For a goal to be acceptable, the question to ask one's self is “will you feel good about doing this?” For a goal to be realistic, the question to ask one's self is “are you able to do this?”

The ways in which the basic principles of effective goal setting operate in this particular context are based on the elaboration of what are commonly known as SMART goals. These are a specific type of goals, which have a more comprehensive and longer-term objective than ordinary goals, in that these goals are not only very specific but also measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely (Layman, Elizabeth J, 2011). This means that they must not be abstract, unclear in nature or unlikely to come to fruition.

themselves as being intimately involved, thus being motivated to work towards the achievement of the organization’s goals and vision.

The research particular interest was in direct correlation with the study of goals in psychology, and how motivation is affected in terms of how your goals are constructed and carried out. What has been previously studied and examined is how goals are the basis of certain maladaptive patterns, and thus conceptualizing important differences and how a person perceives and behaves and what personality is best suited for them. Uniquely on all basis of scientifically finding goals have been defined differently amongst a wide variety of researchers. Goals are the achievable desires and ambitions of people and how they rationalize and decipher how to achieve and complete the tasks efficiently. Additionally, another significant area of value and previously studied is for some goals can structure as elements of status, exemplary grades might reflect a filling of self-worth or some important reassurance in abilities leading to a boost in confidence in all things related. Goals can be created out of the necessary ability to perform or for the additive benefit in assimilating a growing mindset. The review of the body of knowledge on the topic on the study of goals in psychology was two different approaches of mindset from individuals, how their patterns demonstrated their motivation and their cognition levels which essentially lead to a certain behavior. The first approach identified by (Bandura and Cervone, 1983; Locke & Latham, 1990) revealed the importance of developing hard to
