9. SMART Goals Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Timely Not SMART goal: I am going to work out at the gym in the new year and lose weight!
10. SMART Goals Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Timely Not SMART goal: I am going to work out at the gym in the new year and lose weight! Specific—how often? Doing what program? Measurable—how many times or minutes per week? how do you measure success? Achievable—how likely is it? Realistic—if you have never done this before, how realistic is it to expect a major life change to work now? Timely—when do you want to achieve your goal?
11. SMART Goals Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Timely Revised: I am going to go to two cardio classes per week and do two days of weight training per week. Along with proper nutrition, I expect to lose 5-7 pounds in two months.
12. Activity: Set a SMART goal for yourself! Share it with someone else
13. Time Management is Self Management • The main reason for managing time is to provide structure and balance among all of the things you need and want to do. • Managing time provides a road map to accomplish academic and personal goals. • College requires that students learn new and different time management skills from high school.
14. Important! Go to Class! Attendance Studies have shown that, especially in the sciences, students that never or rarely miss class are more likely to receive a B or better in their courses (75% of the students who attended 95% or more of their classes received a B or better)
15. Weekly Schedule Encourage students to: Put all of your class meeting times, regular work schedule, and meetings / practices Plan out times to study, read, review notes, and prepare for your classes Keep in mind the times of the day when you are most effective.
16. Activity: It is late Saturday night; you look at what is coming up for next week, and see the following items. As a group, prioritize and rank the most important (1) to least important (20) factoring in time sensitive deadlines as needed. The week you are dealing with is Sunday- Friday. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri). Use the weekly planner to get an idea of the available time. AFTER ranking the importance of these items, schedule your week so that you may accomplish as much as possible, within reason; remember, you will need to sleep and eat at some point!
17. • Your weekly schedule will identify specific times for classes, studying subjects, writing papers, completing homework, and doing any other routine tasks you have to perform to stay on top. Show your activities in COLOR BLOCKS. This makes it clear to you, even from across your room. Planned Weekly Schedule Example
18. Help students start each semester with their classes’ syllabi, placing all of their tests, quizzes, projects and presentations on a monthly planner. By doing this they will be able to effectively manage their time for long-term assignments. Students will clearly see what weeks are going to have heavier workloads and be able to plan study time in advance Planned Monthly Schedule
19. Every student is different. Most need help to manage time. Use the different tools available to help students manage time to reach their goals!
