Creating SMART Goals

11th Grade•15 minutes•StudySync

Learning Objective

I can create a SMART goal for my academic or personal life.

The SMART method helps you succeed by making goals Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

A specific goal is clear and well-defined, like replacing soda with water every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 3 p.m.

Goals should be relevant to your life and career, and you should set a deadline to increase your sense of urgency.

This lesson includes 3 practice questions to reinforce learning.
