Step 1 of 425%
Step 1 • Start With Your Context
Let's get to know your teaching goal.
A strong SMART goal starts with a real instructional need.
Don't worry about making it perfect yet—we'll build it together.
Think about something you genuinely want to improve this year.
Step 2 • Define Student Action
What will students actually do?
Technology should support meaningful learning—not simply give
students another screen. Let's identify what students will create,
demonstrate, analyze, explain, or produce.
Try starting with an action verb: create, explain, analyze,
solve, demonstrate, revise, collaborate, design, evaluate, or present.
Student Projects
Assessments
Digital Portfolios
Rubrics
Exit Tickets
Student Reflections
Step 3 • Make It Measurable
How will you know students are growing?
This is where a general goal becomes a SMART goal. Choose a
measurable target that you can realistically track during the year.
Coach's Tip:
A percentage, rubric score, frequency, or growth from baseline
can make your goal much easier to measure.
If you don't know your baseline yet, you can write
"Baseline will be established during the first month."
