SMART Targets - Examples
One of the difficulties in mentoring students is the evaluation and monitoring of outcomes. How do we decide whether the actions we have taken are successful or not? To enable us to measure outcomes, it is essential that each mentored student be given SMART targets.
A SMART target is:
S = Specific
M= Measurable
A= Attainable
R= Realistic/Relevant
T= Time Related
Specific
If the target is too vague or too big to be achieved in a reasonable length of time, the student will have difficulty understanding what they have to do.
Measurable
"How will we know if the target has been achieved?"
If the answer is, "We don't know!", then the target isn't measurable!
Attainable
The pupil must be able to reach the target; it must be at the right level.
If the target is unreachable it will lead to demotivation.
Realistic/Relevant
The target must be achievable in terms of resources available.
It must be relevant to the task in hand.
Timed
A time for achieving the target should be set, and a review held when that time is up.
All those involved should be aware of the time set and the review date.
