Time
1 hour
Materials
Flip chart
Pen
Post-its
Take home SMART Goals Contract
Procedure
1. Personal introductions.
2. Introduce the course to the students.
3. Discuss goal-setting and assess students prior knowledge.

a) Ask students to describe a goal and give examples of their
experience setting goals.
b) Let students discuss their successes and failure with goal-
setting. How many have set a New Years resolution but fail
to keep it why?


4. Review S.M.A.R.T Goals definition (refer to students examples from step 3).

Specific
Target a specific area for improvement. Is your goal well defined? Do you have
short-term goals to help you reach your long-term goals?
Measurable
Quantify or suggest an indicator of progress. How will you know when your goal is
accomplished? Do you have steps you can check off on your way to your goal?
Achievable
Set realistic goals. Can you achieve your goal with your current circumstances
& resources? How will your goal be accomplished?
Relevant
Set goals that matter. Is this the right time? Does this match your other
efforts/needs?

Time bound
Specify when the results can be achieved. Do you have enough time to
complete your goal? What can you do six months from now? What can you do
six weeks from now? What can you do today?
FACILITATORS NOTE: Define SMART Goals
and discuss students examples. Write
suggestions on the flipchart for easy
reference. Are these goals specific,
measurable, achievable & realistic, relevant,
and time bound?

5. Help students identify steps to establishing their own SMART goals.
a) Ask students to write their top five goals on post-it notes. They can choose from goals at school, at
home, in their community, or personal improvement goals.
b) The class will work on these examples to identify steps in setting SMART goals.

6. Wrap-up.
a) Have the students summarize this lesson and the
tools theyve learnt. Fill in any gaps. This will help
their understanding of the S.M.A.R.T tools and
how to use them.

Take home

Homework: Students will commit to a short term SMART
goal using their take home goal contract.
[See SMART Goals Contract]

Evaluate (Optional)
Students may turn in their SMART Goals Contract to the facilitator (after a few weeks). They should be instructed
to highlight whether their plan was successful.
FACILITATORS NOTE: Get a feel for how this
lesson went with the students and
encourage them to use these tools in their
lives. Answer any questions.
SUMMARY: Goal setting is a critical skill for
success. Setting smart goals makes it easier
to accomplish and obtain the things you
want from life.
FACILITATORS NOTE: Make this process as anonymous as possible (students may reveal their goals if they
choose).
Gather all the goals on the post-it notes and work through each example with the class. Start from the top
goal and work your way down. For example, a tenth grade girl wants to get a scholarship to play basketball
in college. Ask: what does she have to do to get there? What does she have to do to graduate? What does
she have to do to get good grades/to be good at basketball? And so on
Write students answers on the board and guide the discussion so that students keep identifying more and
more specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound actions that the girl will need to take to
reach her goal. Students should begin to see that reaching goals takes planning, practice, time, discipline,
and focus.
