Question 3 of 7

A SMART goal is one that is SPECIFIC. Imagine your team is in charge of launching a new Wellness program in your school district, what could be a speci�c goal for the wellness program? Think about: What exactly will you do? What actions will you take? What do you intend to impact? when writing your speci�c goal. This question has not yet been answered.

There is no one right answer for this question. An example of a speci�c goal could

be "To educate all school employees, students and parents about the wellness

program by discussing the policy at the back-to-school night, sending reminders

in the school newsletter that students take home 4 times a year." An example of a

goal that, while good, is not speci�c could be "To educate all employees, students

and parents about the wellness program."

Question 4 of 7

A SMART goal is one that is MEASURABLE. Imagine you are working with a patient who wants to lose 10 pounds over the next three months (July-September). How could they measure their progress towards this goal? This question has not yet been answered.

There is no one right answer for this question. One example of an appropriate

measurement plan for a SMART goal is, "The patient can measure their progress

by regularly tracking their weight, number of inches lost, and calorie intake."

Question 5 of 7

A SMART goal is one that is ATTAINABLE. The patient who is trying to lose 10 pounds in the next three months is trying to �gure out how they will reach their goal. What could they realistically do to attain their goal? This question has not yet been answered.

There is no one right answer for this question. Some examples of activities that

are would likely lead to attaining the weight loss goal are "Walking 3 times a

week for 30 minutes" and "Limiting high sugar snacks to one per day." An

example of an action that would likely lead to goal attainment, but might not be

possible is "Walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes, plus running 2 times a week

for 30 minutes, plus lifting weights 5 times a week." An example of an activity that

is likely possible, but would likely not lead to goal attainment is, "Eat a slice of

cake at least once per day."

A SMART goal is one that is REALISTIC. Consider the following situation. Shawn smokes two packs of cigarettes a day and wants to quit smoking. Shawn will exercise more and smoke only 20 cigarettes a day and use a nicotine patch, during his break at work he will take a walk instead of going to the smoking area, and when driving he will chew gum instead of smoking. Do you think this is realistic? Why or why not? This question has not yet been answered.

There is no one right answer. One possible answer would be, "Yes, by exercising

more, reducing the number of cigarettes a day, using a nicotine patch, walking

during his lunch hour, and chewing gum while driving are all small steps Shawn

can take to quit smoking."

Question 7 of 7

A SMART goal is one that is TIMELY. Shawn's goal is to cut his smoking down to 10 cigarettes a day. What is an example of a time-speci�c goal for Shawn to achieve this? This question has not yet been answered.

There is no one right answer. One potential example of a time-speci�c goal is,

"Shawn will cut his smoking down to 10 cigarettes a day over the next 90 days."

An example of a goal that is valid, but not really time-speci�c is, "Shawn will cut

down his smoking by the end of the year."
