This checklist is designed to help tutors set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals with their students to enhance learning outcomes and personal growth.
Schedule and conduct an initial meeting with the student to discuss their academic goals, interests, and areas where they feel they need support.
Work with the student to identify specific goals using the SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).
Clearly document the agreed-upon goals in a shared document for both the tutor and student to reference.
Develop a step-by-step action plan that outlines the activities and resources needed to achieve the goals.
Establish milestones and check-in points to assess progress towards the goals at regular intervals.
Schedule periodic reviews to discuss progress and make any necessary adjustments to the goals or action plan.
Recognize and celebrate milestones and achievements reached by the student to encourage motivation and commitment.
