Students learn what each SMART letter asks, rewrite three vague wishes as SMART goals, then plan their own goal with dated steps and check-ins.
Only the colour PDF is ready for this resource so far. The other formats are on the way.

"I want to read more" becomes 20 minutes of reading before bed, five nights a week, in the worked example that starts this worksheet. Students then rewrite three wishes, about science, drawing and sleep, as goals that pass a one-question test for each SMART letter. All the examples come from students' own lives, with no workplace goals. Page 2 is a planner for one goal of their own this term, where they set dated steps, plan for something that could get in the way and record three check-ins.
First rewrites often still have no number or no date. Before students move on, have them underline the part of each goal that answers "How will I know?" and the part that answers "By when?"
Have students fill in all three check-in dates when they write the goal, so the check-ins are planned before the first one is due.
Ways to adjust the two pages for different students.
No. Every answer is the student's own goal or rewrite. Check each one against the five questions on page 1.
