Learning GoalsWhat are they? How do I use them?
So, what will you actually So, what will you actually be teaching about?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

Learning Learning Goals/OutcomesGoals/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

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

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
