Annual FoundationsThe four annual foundations seminars are offered annually. Students attend these seminars first.

Instructional SeminarsSixteen instructional seminars are offered annually. Twelve of them areon a three-year rotating basis. Students are required to attend all sixteen seminars over the four years of their training. Online participation or watching video recordings of the seminars may be made available to those students who are unable to attend in person. Each instructional seminar includes twelve hours of instruction.

IMS – ImmerseAbbreviation used on the Immerse online website. A designating given to MLOs for transcript purposes only.

Ministry Leadership Outcome (MLO)The primary means of learning in Immerse is the accumulation of twenty-seven interdependent Ministry Leadership Outcomes (MLO) that describe the characteristics of a fully-formed pastoral ministry leader. MLOs are multithreaded, not sequential, and are designed to be completed over a longer period than traditional semester-based courses.

Learning Unit (LU) or Portfolio Learning UnitsEach MLO requires students to accumulate at least nine Learning Units (LU), the building blocks of the Immerse program. Students should expect to invest approximately ten hours each LU.

Outcome Development Assignment (ODA)Immerse students accumulate LUs by completing Outcome Development Assignments (ODA).

Mentor Team Leader (MTL)The Mentoring Team Leader shares with the student surrounding the decisions of the Mentoring Team on matters such as program direction and assessment (incl. grades).

Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals Differentiating between a goal and an accountability:

An accountability is a statement about normal work output… a clearly defined and established on-going responsibility or requirement of a job. Accountabilities and associated supporting activities are found on the position description. They describe what the person in that position is responsible for regularly producing or providing – i.e., what are the normal expected outcomes of the position.

A goal is a general statement about a desired outcome with one or more specific objectives that define in precise terms what is to be accomplished within a designated time frame. A goal may be performance-related, developmental, a special project, or some combination.

Types of performance, developmental, and special project goals:

A performance goal is usually linked to an accountability and could involve problem-solving, innovation, or implementation of some type of improvement.

A developmental goal may serve to enhance performance in the current role (greater depth of knowledge/skills) or prepare for a new or future role.

Special projects could include a “stretch” assignment (build experience), be based on the departmental plan, or meet a particular organizational need.

S = Specific M = Measurable A = Achievable R = Relevant T = Time-bound

S.M.A.R.T. Goals

Goals should describe accomplishments, not activities. First, let’s look at what the S.M.A.R.T. acronym means…

Specific: Goal objectives should address the five Ws… who, what, when, where, and why. Make sure the goal specifies what needs to be done with a timeframe for completion. Use action verbs… create, design, develop, implement, produce, etc. Example: resolve accounting discrepancies within 48 hours.

Measurable: Goal objectives should include numeric or descriptive measures that define quantity, quality, cost, etc. How will you and your staff member know when the goal has been successfully met? Focus on elements such as observable actions, quantity, quality, cycle time, efficiency, and/or flexibility to measure outcomes, not activities. Example: secure pledges from ten new donors by the end of each week.

Achievable: Goal objectives should be within the staff member’s control and influence; a goal may be a “stretch” but still feasible. Is the goal achievable with the available resources? Is the goal achievable within the timeframe originally outlined? Consider authority or control, influence, resources, and work environment support to meet the goal. Example: obtain the XYZ professional certification within two years.

Relevant: Goals should be instrumental to the mission of the department (and ultimately, the insti-tution). Why is the goal important? How will the goal help the department achieve its objectives? Develop goals that relate to the staff member’s key accountabilities or link with departmental goals that align with the institutional agenda. Example: develop and implement a diversity recruitment plan that increases the number of diversity candidates by ten percent.

SMART Goals Handout Updated: 10/5/2007

Time-bound: Goal objectives should identify a definite target date for completion and/or frequencies for specific action steps that are important for achieving the goal. How often should the staff member work on this assignment? By when should this goal be accomplished? Incorporate specific dates, calendar milestones, or timeframes that are relative to the achievement of another result (i.e., dependencies and linkages to other projects). Example: check the fire alarms and emergency lighting in all buildings every six months. Let’s look at some more examples:

For an organization or department…

Not SMART “Improve our student service.”

SMART “Achieve and maintain an average student service rating of at least 4.0 (out of a possible 5.0) on our annual survey by 11/20/08.”

For an exempt staff member…

Not SMART “Create our 2008 strategic plan.”

SMART “Create our 2008 strategic plan, obtain final approval from the Budget Committee, and discuss it with our department so individuals can begin setting their performance objectives by 8-29-07.”

Not SMART “Improve project management skills.”

SMART “Take the Project Management Essentials workshop on 10-18-2007, report what was learned to our team by 11-01-2007, and apply the relevant concepts while implementing our 2008 marketing plan.”

For a nonexempt staff member…

Not SMART “Send out welcome letters to our new students.”

SMART “Produce and distribute personalized welcome letters, error free, to all new students in our department by 9-26-07.”

Not SMART “Be more receptive to coaching suggestions and feedback.”

SMART “At our monthly progress meetings, ask for feedback on what you are doing well and what things to improve. Keep a notebook with this information, try out the suggestions, and document each week what worked and what didn’t.”

For an exempt or nonexempt staff member…

Not SMART “Keep our department’s Website up-to-date.”

SMART “Solicit updates and new material for the Website from our department managers on the first Friday of each month; publish this new material by the following Friday. Each time material is published, review the Website for material that is out-of-date and delete or archive that material.”

Remember the S.M.A.R.T. acronym when establishing goals and objectives. This formula for goal-setting helps ensure that both supervisors and staff members share the same understanding and clarity on goals set during the performance management cycle.

SMART GOAL SETTING WORKSHEETWith Guidance Notes

A Brief Guide to SMART goal setting

A SMART goal is a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time based. In other words, a goal that is very clear and easily understood.

SPECIFICThe goal must clearly state what is to be achieved, by whom, where and when it is to be achieved. Sometimes it may even state why that goal is important.

Not all of these questions will apply to every goal, but it is important to ask all the questions in order to assess how specific your goal is and make it as clear as possible.

MEASURABLEMeasurability applies to both the end result and the milestones along the way to attaining a goal. It answers the question of quantity – how much, how often, how many? The milestones are signs along the way that will tell you that you are on the right track to achieving your goal.

For instance, your ultimate goal may be to make 60,000 dollars in a year, but the milestones may be to make 5,000 dollars every month, which will add up to 60,000 in a year. So by focusing on making the 5,000 dollars every month you will ultimately reach your goal of 60,000 dollars. This makes the goal more attainable because it is easier to think of ways to make 5,000 dollars every month than 60,000 all at once.

It has been said that what cannot be measured cannot be managed.

This is often true when it comes to goals. Sometimes it is difficult to measure a goal, but at such times there is usually an indirect measure that can be applied.

ATTAINABLEYou should ensure that the goals you set are achievable.

Firstly, you must believe that you can manage to do what you are setting out to do. If you set goals that re unbelievable even to yourself it is very unlikely you will achieve them.

This is equally important when setting goals for a group, such as in the corporate setting. If the people for whom the goals are being set do not believe they are attainable, it is unlikely they will work wholeheartedly towards achieving them.

Agreement and participation in the SMART goal setting process is important in such cases to ensure that most people are happy with how realistic the goals are.

Secondly, the goals must be possible, all things being equal. There is no point setting a goal to float in the air and defy gravity using only your mind, for instance. No matter how hard you try this won’t be achievable.

www.executive-and-life-coaching.com©2008 All Rights Reserved. This document is free to download and use unmodified.

Be careful however, that you do not limit yourself based on what other people believe to be achievable or not. Set your own standards by understanding your own abilities, strengths and weaknesses.

RELEVANTYour goals must be relevant to what you want to achieve in the short term and the long term. Understanding your organizational or personal vision, mission and purpose is critical in this respect.

Sometimes you can be tempted to do something simply because it is easy and sounds great, only to discover later on that is has no long term importance to what you want to achieve as an individual or an organisation.

Do those things that are most important and in line with your long term vision and mission

TIME-BASEDThis sometimes overlaps with the goal being Specific, but it aims to ensure that you put a time-frame to your goals. Someone said a goal is a dream with a time-frame to it. Simply deciding by when you want to achieve something can be a good motivator.

It can prevent you from procrastinating because you know that you are working to a deadline.

“Failing to plan is planning to fail”If you find yourself unable to set a SMART goal it is more than likely that your future plans are not clear enough and need to be worked on. Furthermore do not get tempted to skip the process of SMART goal setting and “get on with it” without fully analyzing your goals.

Doing this careful planning at the beginning will save you lots of time and disappointment at a later stage and you will avoid making costly mistakes.

INSTRUCTIONSWork through the worksheet that follows, including as much detail as possible under each heading in the columns. Clarify your goals to yourself as much as is possible.

When you are done with the table you will be able to write SMART goals based on this.

Application Instructions for the Logos Academic Program Dear Faculty and Students, Welcome to a new academic year and to our new online ordering system! We’ve worked hard to make the overall ordering process smoother for everyone involved. Once your academic application is complete, you will be able to order additional resources with academic pricing from www.logos.com. Orders will be processed and available immediately through the regular checkout process, anytime throughout the entire semester. It is no longer necessary for each order to be individually approved by your school. To get started, here is a quick video to watch http://youtu.be/10EQTNbcT10 to see how it is done. After watching the video you can go to www.logos.com/academicdiscount. If you have already registered with us, simply sign in with your email address and password. It is not necessary to create a separate account for your academic orders. If you have never registered with us before, click the orange Register button. Once you are signed in, you will be taken to the Logos.com Academic Application.

Fill out all the fields in the Academic Application – they are all required. Please note that the “Alternate Email” field is your current logos.com sign-in email, and will be automatically populated. The “Student Email” field can be the same address if you don’t have one from your school. “Daytime Phone” and “Evening Phone” also both need to be filled in, even if the number is the same.

The next section requires Academic Information pertinent to your program. Again, all fields must be filled (except Minor). When filling in the “School Name” and “Major” fields start typing then just pause a few seconds; select the best option from the drop-down box. Don’t use abbreviations. If your school has certain classes which require Logos, you will see a list to the right. Please select any you are taking.

Finally, we need verification of your enrollment. You will need to upload a picture of your student ID card or another document such as an acceptance letter, class schedule, or letter verifying your enrollment. You can use a scanner, digital camera, or digital camera from a mobile phone/ipod touch, etc. If you don’t have one, please find a friend who does, or go to a computer lab/library where you can scan and save a digital copy of the document. You must upload a picture file to complete the application and proceed to process your order.

After your Academic Application is complete, you may order a Base package and any other required resources based on your program. All of our products are downloadable, so unless you have very slow internet or limited bandwidth, there is no need to order a DVD for your library. Logos 4 automatically backs up all of your licenses, and you can install/reinstall from the web as needed. To ensure that you are always up to date with your program and library, please choose the download option. If you do choose a DVD, you will need to wait until it arrives to activate using a serial number. Once you have chosen your base package and any additional required resources, click “Proceed” to move on to our secure online checkout. Simply fill out your credit/debit card information, and follow the prompts to complete your order. When it is processed, you will receive an order confirmation message with installation instructions via email.
