Hi, SMART targets help you plan, break-down and organise what you want to do and achieve.
Specific – target a specific area for improvement. They must be easy to understand and say exactly what you want to happen.
Measurable – success can be measured by checking back carefully against the instruction that have been given.
Achievable - the targets can be reached with reasonable effort in the time you are allowed.
Relevant – the targets must be appropriate, building on previous strengths and skills..
Time-related – the targets have clearly set deadlines and are reviewed frequently.
Personal development using SMART objectives
So for example
S: Visit another setting
M: what are the benefits of you visiting another setting?
A: can the visit and the benefits be achieved by the end of the month, year, week? ie. local visit for next Thursday day out with forest school / visit to a Swedish kindergarten next month to spend a week learning about gender neutrality.
R: what is your current role & area of responsibility in the setting, and how will that support you when you visit?
T: set some dates that ensure the intention to visit happens by linking it to a timeline and deadline.
