What is the Goal? What is the Objective?

Goals:A goal defines the end toward which

effort is directed.

Educational Goals

Expectations held for groups of students

Broad

Attainable

Target to be reached

Usually based upon state standards

SMART Method• Specific- describe your goal in precise terms

Measurable- make sure to include the measures that will be used to judge progress towards achieving the goal.

Attainable- construct a goal that is achievable.

Relevant-Your goal should relate to attaining something that is necessary and of value.

Time-based- determine a date, timeframe, or schedule for your goal.

Examples of Goals

Students will inquire about electric current and how electric circuits function.

Students will realize that lines, segments, rays, and points exist not only on paper but in the world around us.

Students will understand the processes that shape the Earth, which include the water

cycle and the role of evaporation in this process.

Objectives

• Define what you will have the students do

• State in terms of expected student behavior

• Specify condition of student performance

• Specify level of student performance

2 ways of remembering - ABCD & SMART

ABCD MethodAudience- Who are your learners?

Behavior- What do you expect them to do?

Bloom’s TaxonomyUsing powerful verbs is important when

writing objectives.

Level 1: Knowledge—define, identify, label, name,

Level 2: Comprehension—describe, explain, retell

Level 3: Application—apply, demonstrate, construct

Level 4: Analysis—analyze, categorize, compare

Level 5: Synthesis—create, design, visualize

Level 6: Evaluation—evaluate, justify, rate

Examples of ObjectivesScience: In groups of two, students will be able write a description of electricity in terms of attraction, repulsion and sparks when asked after watching the power point, with 95% accuracy.

Language Arts: Individually, students will write a persuasive essay, for or against restricting accessto the coral reef, that will coincided with a 3 rating (or a proficient rating) on the PSSA writing rubric.
