The Individual Leadership Plan

SMART Objectives

Writing SMART Objectives is not a simple

task. These tips can help make your ILP

objective more powerful. The MAPA

indicates that the ILP should be based on

analyzed data that is relevant to an identified

and specific need in the school.

Notable Quotable

Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.

C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)

Let’s get busy!

ILP

SMART

Specific • State clearly observable actions that

will lead to attainment.

• Identify the data that will serve as the baseline or reference point.

• List the criteria for the expected (successful) result.

Checkpoint What data will serve as the baseline? What data will indicate success?

Clearly define what you will do and how you will do it.

Lead the infusion of technology so all teachers and students demonstrate proficiency in the ability to design, produce, and use multimedia in accordance with National Educational Technology (NET) Standards for Teachers and Students. Provide staff development opportunities targeted at use of video communication, multi-media and on-line resources.

EXAMPLE

Measurable• What measures and instruments will

be used to determine progress and measure effectiveness?

• List them.

• Quantify the expected result. (Percentage, number, frequency)

CheckpointHow and when are data collected?

Concrete criteria for tracking progress and determining success

• The mean score of students’ performance on the technology assessment developed from the NET standards will be 80% or higher on the post test.

• Teacher proficiency will be determined by the frequency, number, and quality of student produced multimedia products and an increase in positive perception of the use of technology as measured by feedback from parents.

Students will attain a score of 80% or higher on the NET standards assessment and have demonstrated proficiency in the use of multimedia as measured by performance tasks completed as class assignments.

An increase in positive perception of the use of technology as measured by feedback from parents will be noted.

Timeline

• Develop and insert the timeline and checkpoints.

Checkpoint Are there conflicting events that

might not support success?

List start date, review dates, and end date.
