Goal Setting Worksheet
Each year you are asked to identify the following goals: 1. Where do you see yourself professionally in 10 years (about 5
years after graduation)?2. Where do you see yourself personally in 10 years?3. List an academic goal for this academic year?4. Identify an extracurricular goal that will apply your knowledge
and skills learned so far?
SMART Goal Setting: When writing a goal, consider the following questions and make sure you can answer them. Include the answers as part of your goal.

• The HSOP portfolio was initiated in Fall 2012. Each fall, students are asked to establish specific goals.
• Faculty feedback identified several limitations to the approach at that time. • The quality of goals varied and often seemed superficial.• Goals were not always measurable.• Goals did not include a specific plan for achievement.• Students did not consistently consider potential barriers to
achievement.
• To address limitations, an orientation to goal writing was added to Foundations of Pharmacy, an orientation course held over the first week of school for first professional year pharmacy students.
• To enhance students’ ability to write goals • To enhance student learning through establishing their own
professional, personal, academic, and extracurricular goals• To increase likelihood of goal achievement

SWhat do you want to accomplish? Why do you want to accomplish this? What do you need to do differently to accomplish it? Who do you need to get to help you? What barriers do you anticipate and how do you plan to overcome them?
MHow will I know I have achieved this goal? How much will I achieve? How often will I achieve it?
AIs the goal too big?Too big for the time frame? What challenges / barriers might I face?
RWhat will achieving this goal look like? Will there be a work product(s)? Is this something I can do alone or will I need help? Will I have the resources I need to achieve this goal?
TWhen will I have this goal achieved? What other accomplishments due I need to achieve on the way? When will I have individual steps completed?
• The teaching objectives of the 45 minute orientation session where as follows:
• Compare and contrast different types of portfolios• Introduce students to the HSOP’s developmental portfolio
program• Orient and practice writing goals that followed SMART principles
• The performance objectives of the orientation were as follows:• Classify components of a written goal according to SMART
principles• Recognize missing SMART principles of a written goal• Complete the Long and Short Term goals assignment by writing
goals that meet SMART principles
• Orientation Activities:• Review example goals and identify SMART portions• Edit goals to improve adherence to SMART principles• Practice writing one SMART goal using worksheet
Example Extracurricular Goal: NOT SMART One extracurricular goal I have for next semester is to get a part-
time internship at a retail pharmacy. If that doesn’t happen, I plan to participate in as many health fairs as I can to gain experience
counseling patients.
Example Extracurricular Goal: SMARTI plan to volunteer at Diabetes Screening Table at Syrup Sop Health Fair in
October 2013 to practice using glucose meters and to educate patients about diabetes and their glucose levels. I will volunteer for one
day at The Sportsplex to educate patients about Medicare Part D programs as well as help patients enroll in the program.
• Locke and Latham identified Five Principles of Goal Setting that were linked to increased achievement.
• The SMART goal method was selected as its principles connect directly with Clarity, Commitment, and Task Complexity and indirectly with Feedback as shown in the table to the right.
• Allowing students to create their own goals gives them responsibility for their learning and increases commitment.
• By identifying goals that are achievable, students should have a strong sense of self efficacy, increasing the likelihood they will achieve the goals.
• Measurable goals increase the ability to assess progress and obtain feedback.
• By including this assignment as part of a mentored portfolio program, students should receive feedback.
• Thus, by combining the SMART goal process with a mentored portfolio
program, all five principles of goal setting are met.
