Understand and Set SMARTIE Goals

Download the SMARTIE Goals Worksheet
For goals to be effective in driving program performance, WA-SEN defines SMARTIE goals as:
STRATEGIC | reflects an important dimension of what your organization seeks to accomplish (programmatic or capacity-building priorities)
MEASURABLE | includes standards by which reasonable people can agree on whether the goal has been met (by numbers or defined qualities)
AMBITIOUS | challenging enough that achievement would mean significant progress; a “stretch” for the organization
REALISTIC | not so challenging as to indicate lack of thought about resources or execution; possible to track and worth the time and energy to do so
TIME-BOUND | includes a clear deadline
INCLUSIVE | It brings traditionally marginalized people—particularly those most impacted—into processes, activities, and decision/policy-making in a way that shares power
EQUITABLE | includes an element of fairness or justice that seeks to address systemic injustice, inequity, or oppression

Learn about Project Implicit

Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition – thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. The goal of the organization is to educate the public about hidden biases and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the Internet.

Project Implicit was founded in 1998 by three scientists – Tony Greenwald (University of Washington), Mahzarin Banaji (Harvard University), and Brian Nosek (University of Virginia). Project Implicit Mental Health launched in 2011, led by Bethany Teachman (University of Virginia) and Matt Nock (Harvard University). Project Implicit also provides consulting services, lectures, and workshops on implicit bias, diversity and inclusion, leadership, applying science to practice, and innovation.
