5 Developing an action plan
(Approximate timing: 45 minutes)
This next stage of the course is to plan how you will put all the things you have learned into practice. To do this you will be using SMART objectives to develop an action plan (see Table 6), which will help you through the planning process and make it more manageable.
Specific | Your objectives should be precise and well-defined. |
Measurable | Your objectives should be written in a way that makes it clear when you have achieved that objective and also allows you to monitor progress towards it. |
Achievable | The objectives you set should be things that you are capable of doing. |
Relevant | Your objectives should be relevant to what you want to achieve. |
Time-limited | There should be a deadline for the objective to be met. |
