Smart Goals

As the committees are in progress, I would look at the resources needed to achieve the goals that are being set. I know that not everyone feels comfortable sharing in a staff meetings, therefore, I would continue those individual personal relationships, as well as providing surveys (love survey monkey) that ask the staff what they believe would help them grow to be able to support our new mission, vision, and high achievement for ALL students in our new school. I would also want to include sharing information and education for our parents and community, so I would set up parent and community (2.3b) meeting to share data and provide education on schools SMART goals. I would ask "What is the best way, as I principal, I can help support

Setting goals give me the motivation I need so that I know I am working toward something I really want. My goals are my reminder that no matter how hard the task maybe I must take each one of them head on to accomplish them. Goals may change along the way however the result of them will never, and that is the feeling of success and accomplishment that I will feel knowing I’ve done all I can and set my mind to.

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

The second one is a short-term goal. This is something you want to do in the near future. To demonstrate, you can do it next week, this month or even next year. The last one is a mid-term goal. Now a mid-term goal is what you do after you have graduated college. In case, you want to buy a house, start a business or start a family. In order to set a proper goal, you need to use the SMART system. The SMART system stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. The first step in setting a goal is it should be specific. According to the college orientation and success book "the more concrete a goal is, the more likely you are to achieve it and you need to begin by answering the who, what, where, why and how to help avoid goals that are too general". The second step is goals should be measurable. You need to set up concrete criteria for your goal by choosing specific dates, numbers or milestones to help you stay on track. As an illustration, "I will read thirty pages a day". The third step is goals should be attainable. It's good to dream and challenge yourself, but goals should also relate to our personal strengths and abilities. Setting

The last goal I set for myself is using my time for wisely. Every time I would come back home from school, instead of doing my homework, I would either turn on the TV or use my phone. Later on, I motivated myself to do something more productive. For example, doing and finishing my homework, because I wanted to maintain good grades. I knew that if I wanted to make my parents proud, I would have to do good in school. My parents were my motivation to always try my hardest no matter what.

A goal is a target you want to achieve in your life. They are important for many reasons. The purpose of a goal is to motivate yourself and it gives you directions and keeps you forward. Having goals in your life gives a clarity on your end vision, and allows you to focus . The goals help you achieve your highest potential.They make you stretch beyond your normal self and reach new heights. Also if the goal doesn’t challenge you, it won’t be able to change you.

Specific goal of mine is to graduate Medical Billing and Coding, by December or the beginning of January. Not only to have a certification in that particular career but, to be able to have a successful rewarding future. Continuing to learn from future educations as well as remembering my past learning life.

The goal that I have set for myself is to graduate high school on time with a 4.0, this goal will be difficult to achieve, but it will keep me focused throughout high school. This may be a huge challenge because I have

development and support my weaknesses. My first goal is to obtain my MBA from Western

This goal is two parts, studying more is not set too high or too low because assignments are consistent and it is my responsibility to keep on top of them. As for graduating, this one is long term but I feel it is an important academic goal to me because it keeps my eye on the prize. I will benefit from this goal because if I study more that leads to good grades, then I can graduate and take my knowledge from school and apply it to my career and my life.

Some examples of these goals are, doing well in all of my classes, getting a job, or joining clubs. Although these ideas are useful to work towards, they fail to meet the SMART criteria. This criteria, explored by Locke (2004) and extensively used in business and academic settings, allows one to create suitable goals for themselves. A SMART goal should be “Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time Based.” My working goal, created after self evaluation and assessment, is Achieving and maintaining a 3.3 GPA for the winter 2016 semester. This goal satisfies all SMART criteria, and is of an adequate level of challenge. In order to meet my goal for the end of the Winter semester, I have defined some specific task and actions needed to be taken. First, since this goal is academic, I must clearly define study habits and routines. Rather than simply reading text or taking notes, I will assign specific times for study. It is suggested that for every hour of in-class instructional time, two to three hours of work should be done out of class. I determined that I am in class for 14 hours and 30 minutes per week. This means I should assign at least 29 hours of time outside of lecture periods for study, research, and assignments. To meet these requirements, I can assign specific hours for each day as study time. In order to combat procrastination, I will apply methods that allow me to get a head-start on my work, and ensure I have a balanced work load around due dates. In order to keep up with my progress, in my case, GPA, I will use blackboard, and keep up to date with my professors. To successfully reach my goal by the end of the semester, I will also take advantage of various support tools and

To start, I was able to fulfill at least one of my smart goals. The smart goal I was able to do today was learning what an operating room educator did. I had never realized how much they did till that day. Here id just some of the list of responsibilities they have to do: attend meetings with other educators twice a month, do it projects that are focused on improving the hospital, and observe the floor for areas of improvement. A perfect example for the areas of improvement was her creating a new boarding pass. The reason she created this was to ensure the correct signatures were in place on all the paperwork due to them having issues with people not signing said paperwork. This caused the insurance companies being unable to charge the patients,

Some personal goals that have contributed to my academic successare: 1. Set Priorities 2. Develop a Time Management System. 3. Build Self-Confidence.

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.

Setting goals is the most important thing you can do in your life. Without goal's you are going to have no direction, no ambition to be successful, no drive to stay in school, and trouble finding a career that will provide for you. Without these three things, achieving your goals is going to be one of the toughest tasks in the years to come.
