M2U3: Drop Box Assignment #1: Writing clearly defined objectives
Goal: To practice writing goals and objectives, let’s try this brief exercise.

Instructions: In Column #1 in the table below list 3 goals you want to accomplish for yourself during the next 12 months. Remember, goals are general statements of what you want to accomplish. In column #2, using the guidelines suggested, develop 3 stated objectives for each of the 3 goals you have identified. Remember, objectives are explicit statements of concrete changes or things you will do towards the attainment of your goal. (Who, Will do What, By When?) Follow the 3 part question that is suggested in Step #5 – Specifying Objectives.

Once you complete this assignment, complete next 2 drop box assignments that are included in this worksheet.

M2U3: Drop Box Assignment #2: Definition of outcome indicators

Using the objectives you developed in step #5, use the form below to develop outcome indicators. For each of the objectives develop three (3) sets of outcome indicators. A +1 indicator defines outcomes as “the best possible result” that could be achieve in attaining the stated objective (this indicator is the “best” you can hope for as a result of your intervention). A 0 indicator is an indicator which defines outcome as “the most probable result” that could be expected to achieve success in attaining the stated objective (minimum expected desired positive outcome). A -1 indicator is an indicator which defines outcome as the “least desirable result” that could occur as a result of the intervention (this is an indicator which tells you that the objective has not been achieved).
Note: If things do not fit on this form, go to the bottom of this assignment #2 and before assignment #3 to complete the exercise by typing out your answers. Make sure your answers are organized and they are labeled using a goal number and an objective number.

Important: Do not simply check off the box. Instead under each column place a clear statement or definition for each indicator (+1, 0, -1).

Goals / Objectives / +1 / 0 / -1
1. / 1

2. / 1
