Goals- Week 12

Hey Everyone!
Last week Zach and Karen presented the topic of different types of goals to us. SMART Goals and the Four M's. The SMART goal I chose for next year, as a peer mentor was to learn all my students’ names within the first 2 weeks and learn a handful of people in the large lectures names as well. I believe this goal is very specific because I want to be able to have the connection with my mentees right away, whenever a mentor, t.a, professor knows my name it always makes me feel like the care, that may sound weird but I want to have that connection with my mentees. This goal is measurable because I will be able to tell by the end of the two weeks if I have accomplished this goal, I believe that I can accomplish this goal because I am very good with remembering names and faces. Attainable I think falls under the same reasoning as measurable; I know that I can know all of their names by the end of the second week. Relevant, I believe it is very relevant because knowing my students names will help build that connection between us and I wont always have to be saying "What’s your name?" I think the daily introductions will really help me with reaching this goal because hearing someone say the same things over helps them stick with you. Time Limited because I have limited myself to reaching this goal within the first two weeks of the semester.
The Four M's, I thought this strategy was a little hard to make goals for a short-term goal because to me the four m's is a more in depth goal setting strategy. Overall I think that the SMART goals work best for me and with the incoming freshman having them set SMART goals would be most beneficial for them during their first semester.
Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful VEISHEA weather!
