SMART Targets

SEN Resources

The concept of SMART targets represents a cornerstone in effective goal-setting and achievement strategies, providing a clear and structured framework for both personal and professional development. These targets are designed to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, offering a roadmap to success that is both clear and attainable. Whether you’re setting objectives for educational progress, professional growth, or personal milestones, employing SMART targets ensures that your goals are not just visions but actionable steps that lead to tangible outcomes. This resource section is dedicated to exploring the principles of SMART targeting, offering insights, templates, and examples to guide you in creating your own SMART targets. Dive into the methodology that transforms aspirations into achievements, equipping you with the tools to articulate your goals with precision and pursue them with clarity and focus.  We created a whole resource blog section for SMART targets as we know how important they are to SENCOs.
