1. Induction Setting Targets In this lesson we will introduce
you to setting targets which will enable you to plan your work and
achieve your learning goals. Use your mouse or the arrow keys to
move to the next slide.
2. Induction As part of your learning journey with us, we will
ask you to set targets in your Individual Learning Plan to help you
keep track and complete your work. Targets will be reviewed as part
of the tutorial programme on a regular basis Why do I need to set
Targets?
3. Induction To start this process off we ask you to think
about targets being SMART. These lead to targets that are well
formed and can be tracked through your ILP. Why do I need to set
Targets?
4. Induction A simple way to set a target is to make sure they
are SMART. This stands for Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant
Timed Whats SMART?
5. Induction If you set targets for yourself that are NOT
SMART, you cant tell if youve succeeded or not. Lets face it you
cant hit a target without knowing what and where the target is!
Why?
6. Induction I want to be rich. Have I succeeded if I find 1p
in the street? What if I find 50p? How would I know if you were
rich? An example of a POOR Target
7. Induction I want to lose weight. Have I succeeded if I lose
2 grams? Have I succeeded if I lose a kilogram? What if it takes me
5 years to do it? Am I still successful? Another example of a POOR
Target
8. Induction Finish my assignment Have I succeeded if I didnt
pass? Have I succeeded if it was below my target grade ? Have I
succeeded if it was handed in late? Another example of a POOR
Target
9. Induction Lets look at what each letter stands for.... What
does SMART mean?
10. Induction Specific means that you have to say what you want
to do, very clearly. S is for Specific
11. Induction I want to lose weight is NOT specific. I want to
lose 4 kilos is specific. Specific Targets..
12. Induction I want finish my work is NOT specific. I want to
complete module 2 outcome 4 is specific. Specific Targets..
13. Induction Measurable targets tell you exactly what you need
to do to succeed. I want to be able to run 800 metres, faster is
NOT measurable. How much faster do I want to be able to go? M is
for Measurable
14. Induction I want to run 800 metres in 2.5 minutes is
measurable. If I run 800 metres in 4 minutes, I know I havent
succeeded yet! A Measurable Target
15. Induction I want to record three tracks by 4:00pm today is
measurable. If I have only recorded two tracks by 4:00pm, I know I
havent succeeded yet! A Measurable Target
16. Induction Im going to earn 3,000 by next week is probably
NOT achievable unless your job is robbing banks! Neither is: I am
going to run 800 metres in 2 seconds. A is for Achievable
17. Induction An achievable target has to be something you can
do. I am going to practice for 30 minutes every day this week is
probably achievable for most people. An Achievable Target
18. Induction If your target is too big it probably needs to be
broken down into smaller targets I am going to learn all Jimi
Hendrix songs this month is NOT achievable and could be broken down
to 2 songs a month. An Achievable Target
19. Induction What Im going to do to help me to get what I
want. If I want to get fit, watching a TV infomercial will not
help! R is for Relevant
20. Induction It would be more useful and relevant to this
target to go for a jog or swim at the gym. A Relevant Target
21. Induction Thinking about doing your assignment is NOT the
same as DOING IT ! A Relevant Target (neither is checking Facebook
or Twitter #justsaying)
22. Induction If I dont know how much time I have, I dont know
when to take action. When does my work have to be completed? T is
for Timed or Time-Bound
23. Induction I want to be able to run 800 metres in 2.5
minutes by August 5th, this year is a timed target. Now I can
arrange a training routine. A Timed Target
24. Induction I want to have finished all my course work and
achieved my asprirational grade by 31st May 2014. A Timed Target
Now you can design a work plan based on your assesment
sechedule
25. Induction Targets should be: Specific Measurable Achievable
Relevant and Timed So remember...
26. Induction The most important thing you remember from this
short course is that you have Targets in Summary A TARGET An ACTION
to follow and a DATE to complete it by
27. Induction Now you have followed this presenation let us
check you know how to set targets that lead to ACTION Please

your learning!
