Instructions:
Please make it very detailed.
For this assignment, you will work on setting goals for yourself using the SMART method. You will find an explanation of this method in the module that will guide you in your goal-setting process. You will list a minimum of five professional goals that you would like to accomplish during the clinical experience in   this term. For each goal, you must provide an explanation of how the goal is representative of each of   the SMART characteristics: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely. Be sure to answer the         following questions for each goal summary: Can you measure it? Is it attainable? Is it realistic? What is the time frame you have set for completing that goal?  
Format: Each goal summary should be at least 100 words – totaling 500 words for this assignment (added to the speaker notes). The presentation is original work and logically organized, formatted, and cited in the current APA style, including citation of references.  The presentation should consist of 10 slides    (excluding the introduction and reference page).  
SMART Goals Rubric:
Specific: To set a specific goal you must answer the 6 Ws: Who? Who is involved? What? What would I like to  accomplish? Where? Where is this happening? When? When do I start/finish? Which? Identify requirements  and constraints Why? Why am I doing this? Specific reasons, purpose or benefits! (The goal is personal and   identifies areas of weakness in clinical practice. The goal is detailed and clearly focused on the specific         skills,  behaviors, and/or knowledge outlined in the course objectives.)
Measurable: Goals may have several short-term and on-going measurements so that you can see how you are doing in your aim to achieve your goal. A non-measurable goal: I want to learn how to sing. (A measurable goal: I want to learn 5 arias by Friday, November 12th. Measures have been identified that will demonstrate learning, results, and/or progress as related to the described goal.)
Achievable/Ambitious
A goal should stretch you slightly so you feel you can do it, and it will need a real commitment
from you. Think about what is achievable and what you want to do. (The goal set forth is realistic, motivating, challenging, and can be achievable within the term. There is a clear process described to support                      achievability.)
Relevant: Realistic goals should have you push you, but not break you! (The goal has a strong connection to  the course objectives, the student’s history, current interests, and/or demonstrated abilities.)
Timely: What is your time frame? Putting an end to your goal, or target dates to work towards, gives you a      sense of accomplishment as you move toward achieving your goal. With a time frame comes more                  commitment to achievement! (The goal has a definite date of what will be accomplished by this date and is  linked to the measurables. Is within the time frame of this term.)
