Editor's Notes

  1. Couple of paragraphs for each Need to break these overall goals down into SMART objectives which can be achieved in small steps
  2. Specific objectives are: Concrete Detailed Focused Well-defined Straight-forward Action-oriented When setting objectives that are specific, ask : What am I going to do? Use action verbs such as develop, execute, conduct, build Why is it important to do this? Who is going to be involved? When do I want this to be completed? How am I going to do this? Measurable- Measurements for objectives help you know when you have accomplished them. If you set an objective that is measurable, when you complete it you have tangible evidence of completion. When setting objectives that are measurable, ask: How will I know when this objective has been achieved? What measurements can I use? Achievable objectives are those that you can actually accomplish (something you can really do within the time frame set) and not an aspiration or vision. Achievable objectives need to challenge you but not so much so as to be unattainable or to cause frustration in being unable to complete. Realistic objectives are those that you have the resources to accomplish including : Skills Funding Equipment Staff When setting objectives that are realistic, ask: Do I have the resources to accomplish? Do I need to rearrange my priorities to accomplish? Is it possible to complete this objective? Time-oriented objectives are those which have deadlines for completion. The time frames create sufficient urgency and lead to action. The deadlines, just as with overall objectives, must be achievable and realistic. For a complex objective, break into small parts with a date for completion for each. When setting objectives that are time-oriented, ask : What is the earliest yet achievable and realistic date for this objective to be completed? Have I included this date in the statement of the objective?

Learning for work: occurs outside of the workplace in preparation for activities at work Learning at work: offered by the employer or through employment, which is separate from the actual work itself Learning through work: learning that occurs through activities that form part of the actual work performed
