SMARTIE Goal formatting is an easy way to turn ideas into actionable plans. When writing your goals, make sure they are:


Specific: it is clear what the purpose and desired result is, and it is focused on health and/or wellness. 

What are you working to achieve (e.g., Our goal is to...)? 


Measurable: it can be quantified and tracked/reported. 

How will you measure progress/results?


Ambitious: it is challenging enough that achievement would mean significant progress.* 

In what ways will these be challenging achievements that will help your school community this year?


Realistic: it is practical and the council has/will have the skills, time, staff, physical space, etc. to realize the goal; it is worth the time and energy. 


Timely: it will be completed in/across an appropriate amount of time (2020–2021 school year). 


Inclusive: it brings traditionally marginalized people into activities and programs: students of all levels, abilities, and identities are able to access this opportunity.*


Equitable: it includes an element of fairness or justice that seeks to address systemic injustice, inequity, or oppression: everyone receives what they need to access this opportunity.*
