Services
We use SMARTIE Goals!
- S - SPECIFIC: Does each goal clearly state what is to be accomplished? Where appropriate, does it
- M - MEASURABLE: Does each goal refer to a measurable outcome? Does it set a standard that will allow the team to know whether the goal has been met?
- A - ATTAINABLE: specify where and by whom activities should be carried out?
- R - RELEVANT: Will attaining this goal make a difference in the delivery of services? Is the goal aligned to other goals?
- T - TIME-BOUND: Has a time frame been established for achieving the goal? Have shorter-term benchmarks been set so progress can be monitored along the way?
- I - INCLUSIVE: – Are multiple racial perspectives involved in the planning? Does this goal invite traditionally excluded individuals into the decision-making process and contribute in a way that shares power? Does it include a way to ensure equal access to the strategies for historically marginalized communities by addressing the Opportunity Gap?
- E - EQUITY: In what ways are you maintaining status quo or advancing race equity and inclusion? Does the goal address disparity between BIPOC staff/community and income disparities? Does this goal address systemic inequities? What could be done differently to better support or advance race, equity and inclusion?
