Learning Goals

This guide outlines the essential steps to create impactful learning goals for your educational objectives. It emphasizes the importance of identifying a topic, designing a web of questions, and turning these inquiries into cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning goals. You'll learn to align your goals with state and national standards, analyze cognitive complexity, and utilize backward design in planning your instruction. With practical strategies and references to GLCEs and HSCEs, this resource ensures your learning goals are measurable and effectively communicated to students.

  1. Learning Goals What are they? How do I use them?

  2. So, what will you actually be teaching about? • Identify a topic • Design a web of questions around your topic • Tell the whole story! • Bring it around to today! • Turn your questions into learning goals • 5-10 cognitive goals • 1-2 psychomotor goals • 1-2 affective learning goals • Look to the GLCEs/HSCEs • Analyze your goals according to cognitive complexity

  3. Early European Exploration

  4. Learning Goals/Outcomes • Specify what students should learn as a result of the instructional experience • “instructional intent” • is made up of a verb phrase & noun phrase • Verb phrase = cognitive process that is the intended learning outcome • Noun phrase =the subject area content that the students should learn

  5. Terms to Remember…. • Alignment • Misalignment • Backwards Design

  6. Your goals should be in alignment with your instruction & assessment

  7. Should we make our students aware of our learning goals?

  8. Where do learning goals come from? • State and National Standards • Note that standards do not necessarily make effective learning goals • GLCES & HSCEs • Benchmarks clarify the outcome stated in the standard • Teacher Editions

  9. Steps to Writing Quality Learning Goals • Select the verb (Highly Important Step) • Write the noun phrase • Be sure that your goal is “measurable” • Analyze your unit goals for cognitive complexity to ensure your unit is balanced

  10. Bloom’s Taxonomy of Thinking

  11. Goal: Students will be able to understandthat a myth is a story that explains something

  12. Team Task • Read Rivers Around the World • Use the theory of Backwards Design to • Clearly define your learning goals • Identify what evidence (or assessment) would effectively measure student learning of that goal • Plan a method of instruction
