Happy New Year Scholars!
A new year is here and another term is fast approaching! The start of the year is an exciting time when it comes to setting your goals and setting yourself up for success. Setting goals for yourself can provide you with insight and direction and a sense of motivation during the term. By setting goals for yourself, you are providing yourself with a target to aim for.
A SMART goal is a tool to structure and track your goals. SMART is an acronym that stands for
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely.
A SMART goal incorporates all of these criteria to help focus your efforts and increase the chances of achieving that goal.
