FACULTY SECTION
PLC TIDBITS OF THE DAY: SMART goals are time-bound. Putting a time element on a goal helps you determine attainability. But even more importantly, agreeing on a time frame for achieving the goal helps you keep it a priority. It makes the goal more compelling by giving it some urgency. Having a time limit as part of a goal makes it imperative that we periodically check how well or swiftly we are progressing toward the goal. This helps to keep the goal a dynamic part of the improvement process. (Radford)
