Create two SMART objectives that you might use when teaching members of a senior center the importance of increased activity. As discussed in the Module Overview, the acronym SMART stands for the following:

Specific
Measurable/Observable
Attainable for target audience within scheduled time and specified conditions
Relevant and results-oriented
Targeted to the learner and to the desired level of learning

Reflect on how you would use this process in your own career.

When writing journal assignments, include evidence-based sources as well as your own reflections on the topic. Use APA formatting for references and in-text citations. Submit journal assignment as a Word document.
