Like thousands of others, I’m a member of the Elementary School Counselor Exchange on Facebook. I often see posts on there surrounding the topic of goals, student learning objectives, etc. It was something several of my colleagues in my district struggled with too. With our jobs often on the chopping block (or at least our ability to do our jobs), using strong data is only becoming more important.
I was asked to give a presentation to other counselors in my district on SMART goals and thought I’d share some of the slides here in case it proves helpful to some of you as you create your program’s goals for the year, or even smaller goals for classroom units or small groups. I needed something short, sweet, and to the point. This is what I whipped up for us:
I created some printables to help you 1) create your goals, 2) give you more example goals, and 3) keep them at the top of your mind. And they are FREE! Just fill out the form to join the email list and you’ll be able to download it right away.

Thanks Sara, for your very simple and too the point explanation of smart goals. Your presentation not only shows how to write them, but specifically where to search for the information needed to target the goals to be used.. When first writing Smart Goals, it seemed very difficult, until I realized they were things I was already doing, I just needed to learn how to write them up..
You showed that when learning a new skill, it’s not the amount of materials presented, but the quality of the presentation and the experience of the presenter..
Thanks you again for both!
Thanks Sara for your wonderful resources!!
