*Based on the pre-assessment results, 10/20 (50%) of students are at a mastery level of telling time to the hour. Based on this percentage, half of the students need
direct and detailed instruction in order to master the content.

IV. SMART Goal (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Results-oriented, Timely)

Goal
Observable Behavior
Criteria

80% of the students will

demonstrate mastery in telling
time to the hour.

Throughout the Unit, students

will be observed during whole
group instruction, stations,
and the pre- and post tests.

Students will complete the Telling

Time Post Test by writing the number
shown by the hour hand of digital and
analog clocks. Students will also
identify the analog and digital clock
that show the same time.

Measurement
The Telling Time
Post-test will
measure the
increased knowledge
of content.

SMART Goal Statement:

Given the Telling Time Post-Test assessment, 80% of the class will earn an 80% or higher by the
end of the Time Unit.
V. Means for Attaining Goal
Strategy

Evidence

Target Date

One strategy I will use will be

station rotations.

During station rotations, students will

be assessed by observation, direct
questioning, and worksheets/activities.

To attain the goal, students will be observed and show

mastery of the skill by the end of the unit, April 8th,
2016.

Another strategy included in my unit

will be hands-on activities using clocks.

During station rotations, students

will be assessed by observation
using miniature analog clocks.

To attain the goal, students will be observed and show

mastery of the skill by the end of the unit, April 8th,
2016.

Another strategy used will be the

use of worksheets.

During station rotations and independent

seatwork, students will be assessed by
the completion of the time worksheets.

To attain the goal, students will be observed and

assessed on the mastery of the skill by the end of the
unit, April 8th, 2016.
