  1. How to develop smart goals Dr. Sara hinkle, AVP for Student Affairs Division of Student affairs staff retreat January 14, 2014

  2. Strategic planning • Create Vision/Mission Statement • Develop Goals • Make Action Steps • Assess Goals and Actions Steps

  3. Developing GoAls • What is most important now? Where do you want to invest your time, energy, and resources? • Focus on 5-7 goal per year • SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) • Make them SMART

  4. SMART GoAls • S = Specific • M = Measurable • A = Attainable • R = Realistic • T = Timely

  5. specific • *Who: Who is involved? • *What: What do I want to accomplish? • *Where: Identify a location. • *When: Establish a time frame. • *Which: Identify requirements and constraints. • *Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.

  6. specific • Within the next two years, reduce by 50% the number of students needing remedial (over the past five years, ___% of students have required this assistance). • Goal focuses on students and deals with basic skills, a strategic direction for the college.

  7. measurable • Concrete criteria for measuring progress toward goal attainment • Ask: • How much? How many? How will you know when you’ve reached your goal?

  8. Measurable • Within the next two years, reduce by 50% the number of students needing remedial (over the past five years, ___% of students have required this assistance). • The school knows how many students have required assistance in the past and will be able to determine if that number drops by 50%.

  9. attainable • You have the attitude, abilities, skills, resources, and time to achieve this goal.

  10. attainable • Within the next two years, reduce by 50% the number of students needing remedial (over the past five years, ___% of students have required this assistance).” • Current data confirms that this goal is neither so conservative to be uninspiring nor so high that people will think it’s impossible to achieve.

  11. realistic • Represents objective toward which you’re willing and able to work • Project fits with overall strategy & goals of department • May push skills and knowledge, but won’t break them

  12. realistic • Within the next two years, reduce by 50% the number of students needing remedial (over the past five years, ___% of students have required this assistance). • The goal describes the desired outcome, not the process or activity that might contribute to attaining this outcome.

  13. timely • Realistic timeframe in which to accomplish goal • Time must be measurable, attainable, and realistic • Create start and endpoints (and possibly mid-way checkpoints)

  14. timely • Within the next two years, reduce by 50% the number of students needing remedial reading assistance (over the past five years, ____ students have required this assistance).” • The goal sets a deadline for accomplishment.

  15. Action Steps • Your “to-do” list for each goal • How will you determine whether you’ve met the goal? • What method(s) will you use? • Who will be responsible for making this determination and when? • Who will keep track of each action step?
