· M = Measurable (Learners should be able to quantify, whether or not they meet their objectives, either in numbers or by comparison.  Has something been done that will show that a change has occurred?

· A = Attainable (Have smaller objectives to complete first. Make small goals add up to a larger goal, making it more attainable.
