4 Keys to Creating Sound Learning Targets

1.Clear understanding of where you want the targets to take your students.

2.Identify only those components of the standard that are essential for today’s learning (daily learning target).

3232

4 Keys Continued:

3. Each target is measurable/able to be assessed.4. Targets are arranged in a logical progression.5. Targets are stated/written in student friendly language.
