My SMART Goals Example

My SMART Goals

• SMART Goal
• Specific… I want to improve my grade to pass my math
• class as I need this knowledge to be able to enrol in my next math course.
• Measurable… I want to achieve at least 60% in my
• course. I will know if I understand the material after my first quiz.
• Attainable… I will go to class, take notes, attend
• the PASS sessions, and study on a regular basis each week. If necessary, I
• will get help from a peer tutor.
• Relevant… Yes because I need to understand this
• foundational material for my courses next term.
• Time Based… April 2017 at the end of the semester
• Reflection
• I predict the most challenging part of achieving my goal will be staying motivated. Math is not my favourite subject but I know I need it to move on in my program. I know, I know ... I need to improve my mindset with regard to Math, admit that the challenge is good, and the time and effort I spend on it will be worthwhile. Believing I can do this is half the battle. The other half will be using the resources available to me at Mohawk (i.e. PASS sessions, peer tutors).
• It's not enough to have a growth mindset. It's not enough to set goals. I have to use all the tools.
