PLANNING FOR INSTRUCTION
Only 2 Parts: 1. learning objective
2. task analysis
1. Look at the samples of learning objectives.
2. Sort learning objectives into two columns:
> objectives that are complete
> objectives that are incomplete
Be ready to share a completesample with the whole group.
If learning were a road…
where are you taking your students?
do your students know wherethey are going in a lesson?
When it comes to learning,…
do you, as the instructor, provide the road to take them there?
When it comes to learning,…
Why include
learning objectives???
What is the main focus of this picture?
What do you notice?
Students often don’t connect information together to make sense.
Learning objectives…
help students
piece together information
in a meaningful way!
Students often interpret information
in ways that don’t make sense.
Why include
learning objectives???
Research Findings:
When teachers used learning objectives,
this produced a 23 percentile gain overall.
What does a 23 percentile gain mean?
If your students start at the 50th percentile,
you can move them up to the 73rd percentile
by correctly using learning objectives.
Respond to the following with a partner:
What implications do you see for using learning objectives?

3 Parts to a Learning Objective:
1. topic/content/skill - focus of lesson
2. do/assessment - proof of learning
3. level of thinking - cognitive depth of thinking
Topic/Content/Skill
Learning Objective
Topic/Content/Skill
• specific content …
• must be aligned…
• written and communicated…
Topic Examples:
• Topic: prefixes
• Topic: points on x and y-axis
• Topic: hypothesis
• Topic: rhyming words
• Topic: rope climbing
• Topic: main idea
Re-examine and re-sort the objectives…
based on the topic/content/skill
TableTeams√ ↑
Topic/Content/Skill
• specific content students learn during lesson
• aligned to state standard or foundational knowledge
• communicated in student-friendly terms
Do/Assessment/Proof of Learning
Learning Objective
Do/Assessment
• check for understanding…
• deliberately planned…
• directly aligned…
• the assessment…
Ideas for Assessment
Evaluation vs Assessment
summative formative
comes at end ongoing
a judgment call information about what to do next
often graded does not need to be graded
doesn’t change instruction used to adjust instruction
takes time to complete quick and easy to implement
What are some possible
assessments to check for student
learning?
2 Part Learning Objectives:
• Topic: prefix (mis-)
• Do: write 3 new words
• Topic: points on x and y-axis
• Do: plot 5 positive points
• Topic: rope skills
• Do: hang on rope for 5 seconds
What are the implications ofassessment for you as a teacher?
YOU MUST ASSESS:

“If there is no assessment, then there is no objective.”
