What Are SMART Goals?
"SMART" is an acronym that leads your students through a step-by-step process of creating achievable goals.
Your students will become discouraged if a goal is too involved or unrealistic. SMART goals break down the goal-setting process into easy, manageable pieces that provide a scaffold to success!

Why Setting Goals Is Important
Many kids view learning skills as a passive activity that just happens with no effort or plan. This is called a fixed mindset. Reflection and SMART goal setting are two essential skills that promote and develop a growth mindset as your students mature.
A few of the more significant skills students will learn include:
-
Long-term vision
-
Short-term motivation
-
Reflection
-
Prioritization
-
Time management
-
Progress Tracking
​
When your kids are actively engaged in their learning, they are significantly more motivated to achieve a skill!
