SMART Goal Examples for Students

Goal-setting can be hard whether you're a student or a teacher. We're grown up, and sometimes we even set goals that are a bit too lofty!

When you're sitting down with your students to set goals, the SMART goal structure can help save students a lot of frustration by putting guardrails on their goals to make them more achievable in the long run. In this case, the letters S, M, A, R, and T each stand for something:

• S: Specific
• M: Measurable
• A: Attainable
• R: Realistic
• T: Time-Bound

Some examples of smart goals for students might be:

• I will read for 30 minutes every day.
• I will get a higher score on my next math test.
• I will finish my science project by Wednesday.

Students can also be encouraged to set personal behavior goals.
