SMART targets

KS3 and KS4 SMART targets

Here are some examples of targets and how they can become SMART.

Target: To pass functional skills Maths

SMART target: To prepare for functional skills Maths assessment on 25th May, by revising fractions and percentages - in particular I need to be able to calculate a percentage discount using monetary values. I can use BBC Skillswise tasks at home to support what I am learning in class.

Target: To complete Unit 102

SMART target: To complete unit 102 - Understand the principles and values in health and social care - you need to be able to describe what is meant by person centred or child centred practice. You will write up your observations from your work placement at nursery, which will give you some concrete examples. This must be submitted by 11th April.

Target: To get better in Mathematics, English and Science

SMART target: I will be working at Grade 3 in Maths by the Summer Term by focusing on algebra. This will involve me being able to expand a single bracket and draw the graph of an equation by completing a table of values. My 1-1 support will focus on this and I will know that I've been successful if I achieve 55% on my Assessment 3 on 18th May. 

Target: To improve confidence in Maths

SMART target: I will develop my skill set in Geometry and Measures and I will be able to apply the formula for finding the area of a triangle when I am given the perpendicular height and base. I will score 40% on my Shape homework in November. 

Target: Not be excluded again

SMART target: To access the sensory room during first break and to be able to identify three successes per week with your key adult during your Friday mentor session. 

Target: To engage in English

SMART target: I will improve my ability to discuss Shakespeare's plays by revising the key theme of love in 12th Night. To do this I will use BBC Bitesize and my English learning mentor. I will be able to write about why Viola keeps her love for Orsino secret and memorise two quotes to show this. I will demonstrate success by achieving grade 5 in my English mini-assessment on Twelfth Night on 12th June.
