Setting Up SMART Goals (based on information provided by Gretchen Bender.)

When creating SMART Goals, consider the following..

1. Relevance - Is the goal relevant to the strategic direction? Does it apply to the strategic direction in our specific area? Will it help to move Saddleback College into a positive direction?

2. Improvement - What is the "improvement" that we are seeking by the end of the three year strategic planning cycle?

Formula for creating SMART goal s...

1. Use active words such as...Increase, Achieve, Improve, Enhance, Strengthen

2. Include measurement in time and percentage - "by when" and "by how much"

Note: At some point, we must establish a baseline as a way to evaluate the success of each goal.

Examples: (Based on our initial recommendations)

1.B. By Fall 2011, improve by 100% the assessment and testing services at Saddleback College. (Strategic activities might include creating a testing center to assist with the assessment of students in needs of make-up examinations, placement testing for matriculation, and test proctoring for online instruction.)

2.A. By June 2013, increase by 100% the training services offered to faculty in the areas of teaching innovation and best teaching practices.

2.B. By June 2012, improve by 50% the mobile device applications to enhance student, faculty, and staff access to Saddleback College.

2.B. By June 2012, improve by 25% the access to emerging technologies through the use of mobile applications. (Mark just received new information yesterday – Blackboard recently purchased a company that develops mobile applications for colleges and universities. We are looking into using their services).

3.A. By June 2013, improve by 25% availability of transfer center services?

4.A. By June 2013, increase by 25% alumni giving through multiple social networking platforms.

4.C. By Fall 2011, enhance by 50% college efficiencies.
