Writing effective SMART goals for Documented Plans

SMART: Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-bound

Considerations:
• What are the student’s strengths, needs and interests?
• What data do you have about the student? Assessment results?
• What are the students ‘carrots’ or motivations?
• What do you ultimately want the student to achieve by the end of the
year? Backward map the steps to achieve this standard.
• Are there any recommendations from external reports? Previous
teachers? Parents?
• Is there a diagnosis?
• What do you see as expected achievement each week towards the
goal- is it realistic, yet challenging?
• High expectations for every child are essential!

issue or argument of a Year 7 standardised PAT test reading passage.

skills (such as Do I understand what I am reading? How does this connect to what I already
know? What do I think might happen next?) with 70% accuracy when reading a Year 5
level PAT reading comprehension text.
