Class Title: Kicking off 2018 Right: Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals!

Class Description Learn how to create and set S.M.A.R.T. Goals in order to reach your dreams in a timely, organized, and efficient manner with these simple steps!

Write a brief overview of your class.

This class will teach students how to create “S.M.A.R.T. Goals”. In other words, goals that are: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. With the knowledge gained from this class students will learn how to not only create these specific and concise goals, but also how to implement them effectively into their day-to-day life.

This class is geared towards students of practically any age. Whether teenage or more seasoned, almost anyone can get something out of this course!

In terms of class project, students will create a draft of their goals to begin, then, as the class progresses, learn to refine these into structure and achievable goals. At the end of the class, students will have a final list of their top 8 goals that they want to focus on for each quarter of 2018.

Prior experience is not required when taking this course. I will break the information down into simple steps and chunks of information to ensure that students with any amount of experience are able to understand the contents of the class.

Slides and Talking head

3 Minutes

Define the Acronym

What’s the difference between a goal and a S.M.A.R.T. Goal?

Why have a S.M.A.R.T Goal?

Project:

Create a list of “goals” you’d like to accomplish this year and post them in the projects section. Try to do at least 8-12 goals

S = Specific

Slides and Talking head

3 Minutes

What is a “Specific” goal?

Main Question: Are these goals SPECIFIC enough for clarity or are they vague?

Give an example

“I want to lose weight” vs “I want to lose 10 pounds”

Project:

Take a look at your goals and determine whether they are vague or specific? Make the necessary adjustments and post them

M = Measurable

Slides and Talking head

3 Minutes

What is a “Measurable” Goal?

Main Question: Are my goals measurable?

Give an example:

Yes you want to lose weight, but by when? June 20, 2018? December 15, 2018?

Project:

Take a look at your goals and determine whether they are measurable or up in the air? Make the necessary adjustments and post them

A = Achievable

Slides and Talking head

3 Minutes

What is an “Achievable/ Attainable” Goal?

Main Question: Are my goals achievable ?

Give an example:

Yes, wanting to lose weight is an attainable goal because you are able to do so by changing your diet and your food portions as well as exercising regularly.

If you don’t specify “how” you’re going to lose the weight you want to lose, this may not become an attainable goal.

*** the key is to think through what it will take to get the goal done!

Project:

Take a look at your goals and determine whether they are attainable/achievable or not. Make the necessary adjustments and post them

R = Relevant

Slides and Talking head

3 Minutes

What is a “Relevant/Realistic” Goal?

Main Question: Are my goals relevant to my life?

Give an example:

If you wanted to lose 10 pounds in a day, that’s not realistic (nor is it healthy!) The key is to understand all of the challenges and obstacles before you begin the journey of accomplishing your intended goals and will assist you in being realistic when setting them.

Project:

Refer back to your goals and determine whether they are Realistic/Relevant. Make the necessary adjustments and post them

T = Time-Bound

Slides and Talking head

3 Minutes

What is a “Time-Bound” Goal?

Main Question: Are my goals time-bound/timely? (have an end date?)

Give an example:

Decide when the proper time to start this goal would be. For losing weight, starting right around the holidays (i.e. Thanksgiving and Christmas time) may not be the best time to start dieting. (too much good food to devour!!) However, the beginning of the year, say, January, or mid-year, like June, when there aren’t many food excessive holidays may be best. You also want to keep in mind a timeline to hold yourself accountable to.

I.e. Lose 30 pounds by June 30, 2018 = lose 5 pounds per month = around 1-2 pounds per week.

Project:

Refer back to your goals and determine whether they are Time-bound or still pretty vague. Make the necessary adjustments and post them
