INPUT ARTICLE: Article: SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. This system has been used by business and government leaders and training managers to institute and teach effective training programs.  Specific: State exactly what the learner should know how to do with specific objectives. All objectives should be clearly defined and not subject to debate or interpretation. Measurable: Observe and quantify the behavior with measurable objectives. The objectives should be consistent for each learner, and subject to standard evaluation. Attainable: Make sure the task or action is something that can actually be achieved with attainable objectives. Setting learners up for failure will result in unmet objectives and demoralized students. Relevant: Determine that this task is important and necessary with relevant objectives. There should be nothing arbitrary or optional about the tasks written in the objectives. Time-bound: Set achievable deadlines and management schedules with time-bound objectives. There can be no open-ended tasks in effective objectives. Set and enforce deadlines.  Using the bookkeeper example from other parts, the SMART acronym would be applied in the following way:  Specific: The bookkeeper should be able to record the credit account transactions. Measurable: The bookkeeper will record transactions correctly 100 percent of the time. Attainable: The bookkeeper's task is not so different from current entries. Relevant: The bookkeeper's task is essential to the business's accounting procedures. Time-bound: The bookkeeper must learn to make the new entries by the 1st of March. Try not to have objectives that you cannot measured objectively, such as making a student "appreciate" or "be aware" of something. While these are no doubt important, you have no real way of measuring the success of teaching a student these things. For the previous example, don't write an objective like, "the bookkeeper must be aware of how the new entries are made." Make the objective more direct with "they must be able to record the new entries." Evaluate the students, and give them an opportunity to evaluate the training. Some part of the training should be a test of the knowledge gained during the training. After all, knowledge is useless without experience and practice. Remember that this may require multiple repetitions before the performance standard can be reached. For the previous example, this might be that the bookkeeper will be given several hypothetical examples of this type of transaction and will be asked to record them correctly. Using all of the aforementioned criteria, refine your training objective until it is exactly the way you want it. Again, make sure all aspects of the objective are clear and measurable. For the previous example, an example would be, "The bookkeeper, given the business's existing accounting software, must be able to record the new credit account entries with 100 percent accuracy by the 1st of March."

SUMMARY: Use the SMART acronym to make sure the training objective can be evaluated. Avoid using objectives that cannot be measured. Include an objective for evaluation. Finalize your training objective.
