S.M.A.R.T.
SMART is an acronym for, Specific, Does your goal target a specific area for improvement?, Measurable,
can you accurately measure your goal?, Achievable, is your goal realistic? • Relevant Is the goal relevant
to your profession?, Time-bound specific timeline.
Specific
The latter, right? In order to create specific teacher goals that will target and trigger real change, ask
yourself the 5W's:
1. Who is involved?
2. Where is it located?
3. Why is it important?
4. What do I want to accomplish?
5. Which limitations or resources are involved?
Measurable
Make your teacher goals measurable so you can keep track of progress.
How many? How much? What number do I need to hit to accomplish this goal?
Achievable
How can you accomplish your teacher goals? Are there any constraints that may keep you from
accomplishing your goals? Answering these questions will help determine how achievable your teacher
goals are.
Just like you do for your students, make sure the goals keep you within a zone of proximal development.
Teacher SMART goals should be achievable, not unattainable.
Relevant
Part of having SMART teacher goals is keeping those goals relevant. Does your goal matter to you? Will it
matter to your students? Will it matter to your school?
For example, if your school has an overarching goal to increase math scores, at least one of your teacher
SMART goals should align with that.
Not sure if your teacher goals are relevant? Ask yourself these questions:
• Is it the right time?
• Is this goal worthwhile?
• Does it align with current efforts or needs?
Time-bounded
Without an end date, goals turn into tasks that are easy to put off -- day after day, week after week,
month after month. When you make teacher SMART goals, make sure they're time bound.
Ask yourself when you'd like to accomplish your goal. Let's say you want to achieve it by the end of the
term. Once you establish a target date, consider what you can do today, four weeks from now and two
months from now that will allow you to cross that goal off your list.

Relevant:
By May 2020, my 5th grade students will improve their language conventions writing score by 7
percentage points, from 63% to 70% proficient.
Time-bounded:
By May 2020, my 5th grade students will improve their language conventions writing score by 7
percentage points, from 63% to 70% proficient.
