SMART Goals Paper

Aiming to prepare students for a competitive future, the goal of Athlons is to create a healthy body pillar thru the integration of physical activity, health and nutrition, and culture of wellness. In Athlons Academy, students come to “identify, understand and practice 12 character traits that research links to lifelong achievement.” The integration of these traits

impact students in a positive or negative way. Many schools believe if they try to serve healthy

It does this by using interactive activities to teach basic nutrition principles, utilises pictorial resources that can be used by a variety of groups in the WA community and doing hands-on cooking workshops.

The leadership team discussed specific outcomes that they want accomplish, taking into consideration the issues they want to address. After careful deliberation, they decided that they wanted to create a process of implementation with a feedback loop in which teachers and staff discuss each lesson. Documentation would be written down of what worked and what did not work and modifications could be done for the upcoming lessons. This could be accomplished by setting time for staff to meet and discuss lesson implementation, areas of strength and weakness. After discussion the staff would discuss and change the lesson plans to meet the needs of classroom. By crating this process of implementation staff can course correct

The overall goal of this course is for students to learn about a variety of different health topics and to gain the knowledge they will need to lead a healthy lifestyle. We will do this all by participating in different activities and connecting to

ways in which to encourage, educate, and motivate students to adopting a healthy lifestyle and

I began my research with the question “Who is responsible for underage binge drinking on college campuses.” I found that there were four main entities responsible for this issue; College leaders (dean of Students, President of the University, Housing Supervisors), Community leaders (Politicians, Mayors, and City counsel members), liquor associations (bars and liquor stores), and social influences. I decided to target university and community leaders because I believe some of the leaders, especially mayors and city counsel members, may not understand how extensive the issue of underage binge drinking on college campuses is. That is why my goal with this project was first to inform them of the responsible factors for this issue and then to move

The alcohol consumption rate here at the university can be reduced in three complementary phases: (1) demonstrating the consequences of drinking under the age of 21, (2) what health issues can develop if drinking becomes an addiction, and (3) enforcing the underage and alcohol free campus rules.

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

NJCCC Standard 2.1 Wellness: All students will acquire health promotion concepts and skills to support a healthy,

My health goal was to change my eating habits. I chose this goal because I have a bad habit of not eating as well as I should. Although I usually do not eat fast food, I eat a lot of carbs. I was raised in an Italian family so macaroni and pizza are my two worst enemies. I figured that if I used this project to get rid of my bad eating habits, I would have an easier time eating healthy after this class ends. Before starting the project I realized that there will be challenges, but this project was not meant to be simple. If behavior change was simple, then anyone would be able to change behavior whenever they wanted to.

Goal: Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) objective(s) utilized as the goal for the teaching. Include the appropriate objective number and rationale for using the selected HP2020 objective (use at least one objective from one of the 24 focus areas). If an HP2020 objective does not support your teaching, explain how your teaching applies to one of the two overarching HP2020 goals.

The two SMART goals as discussed by Kinicki and Williams (2013), that I feel apply in the text that is described and based on the text about GM include:

Out of the three goals, (Personal, educational, and professional) I chose two of the goals that I am focusing on and that is my personal and educational goals. For my personal goals, I want to create a big picture of what I plan to do in life. Then I want to break them down in order to reach my goals, then once I have them together, then I would start working on them to achieve them. For example(Specific and Measurable goals), I plan on finding a job that has great benefits and the best rate of pay, and one that does not require working on weekends(Monday-Friday only), and not working overtime.

Overall, once finalized the health promotion program would lend itself extremely well to all the pillars of the comprehensive health plan but less so to the policy portion of the plan. The comprehensive health plan (2018) states that policies are the guidelines and practices that shape and promote student well-being and achievement, however I believe that while schools may promote healthy alternatives there is little that can be done to ensure students follow through with guidelines. To overcome this limitation the other three pillars would need to effectively demonstrate the importance of hydration through water while making it accessible. Together the three pillars would strengthen and elevate the policy pillar making it more effective in aiding student well-being.
