PLANNING Learning Objective Task Analysis LESSON ALIGNMENT E.E.I. Assessment INSTRUCTION
Learning Objective: Topic: learning objectives Level of Thinking: apply Do: write 3 part learning objectives that align with performance objectives
3 Parts of a Learning Objective: topic – focus of lesson level of thinking– depth of thinking do - proof of learning
MODEL From P.O. to Topic Look at the noun(s) Math Performance Objective 1: Compare and order real numbers including very large and small integers, and decimals and fractions close to zero. Topic? real numbers, integers, decimals, and/or fractions
PRACTICE From P.O. to Topic Writing: Performance Objective 1: Use clear, focused ideas and details to support the topic. Topic? ideas and/or details
PRACTICE From P.O. to Topic Science: Performance Objective 2: Choose an appropriate graphic representation for collected data: line graph, double bar graph, stem and leaf plot and histogram. Topic? Graphic representation (line, double bar, stem & leaf plot,histogram, and/or graph)

Bloom’s Cognitive Domains Common Cognitive Levels of Instruction: New Model Old Model Analyzing
Levels of Thinking (Bloom) Create Evaluate Analyze Apply Understand Remember Allows for transfer of info No info transfer
Remember Description: recall specific ideas and info Examples: Recite a Haiku poem. List the characteristics of a mammal
Understand Description: comprehend ideas, meanings & info Examples: Paraphrase a Haiku poem. Explain the characteristics of a mammal.
Apply Description: use information, ideas and principles in new situations Examples: Dramatize a Haiku poem. Use the characteristics of mammals to determine if a new “creature” is a mammal or non-mammal
Analyze Description: break down info into its parts Examples: Infer the meaning of a Haiku poem. Compare and contrast characteristics of mammals and reptiles
Evaluate Description:judge the value or ideas, purposes and methods Examples: Critique a Haiku poem based on criteria. Support their reasoning for identifying an organism as a mammal.
Create Description: put together parts to make a whole and do something new with the information Examples: Compose a Haiku poem. Create a new mammal.

Lesson Alignment Within Learning Objectives State standard or foundational knowledge Level of Thinking (verb) Topic (noun) Do (noun + verb)
Possible Assessment Formats • whiteboards • clickers (do not only use for lower level thinking) • index cards (choices on cards) • hand signals (use variety of signals connected to content) • visual card (student touches correct answer on card or “I don’t know” section on card) • ticket-out-the-door (serves as closure and assessment) • walk around and listen for responses (oral or written)
MODEL Math P.O 1: Compare and order real numbers including very large and small integers, and decimals and fractions close to zero. Topic: decimals Level of Thinking: analyze Do: • place decimals on a number line in order OR • identify the smallest decimal
Writing:P.O.1: Use clear, focused ideas and details to support the topic. PRACTICE Topic: details Level of Thinking : apply Do: • Write 3 details to support a topic
PRACTICE Science: P.O. 1: Choose an appropriate graphic representation for collected data: line graph, double bar graph, stem and leaf plot and histogram. Topic: graphic representation Level of Thinking: apply Do: • Choose graphs that best represent data.

Now what? At your school site: • start small • discuss what parts of the learning objective to begin to post • consider how implementation will be monitored? This will be a work in progress!
How will you help your students grab onto your learning objectives to focus and facilitate their learning?
