Why Values-Based Goals Work Better
Student Investment
When goals connect to what students care about, they become partners in their own growth instead of passive recipients.
Level 5 SMART Goals
Include all research-backed components: baseline, accuracy criteria, fluency, generalization across settings, and maintenance.
5 Minutes, Not 5 Hours
The guided wizard ensures you hit every component without starting from scratch. Copy, paste, done.
“When we start with what matters to students — their own values like being brave, kind, or helpful — everything changes. The goals become meaningful, and students become invested in their own growth.”
— Rob Spain, M.S., BCBA, IBA
