The document provides guidelines for writing effective instructional objectives. It explains that objectives should be based on subject area standards and describe observable student outcomes, not teacher actions. When writing objectives for complex skills, a task analysis should break the skill into steps. Objectives should reflect the appropriate cognitive level and determine the assessment. Following these guidelines will help ensure lessons have clear objectives and intended learning outcomes.
The first step in your presentation is to write learning objectives. Learning objectives state what the learner will be able to do at the end of the training program or at the end of a phase of training. They describe the planned outcome of the training rather than the training process.
Objectives are statements which describe what the learner is expected to achieve as a result of instruction.
A course objective specifies a behavior, skill, or action that a learner can demonstrate if they have achieved mastery of the objective.
Objectives need to be written in such a way that they are measurable by some sort of assessment.
Course objectives form the foundation of the class.

Testing is a matter of using data to establish evidence of learning. But evidence does not occur concretely in the natural state, but is an abstract inference. It is a matter of judgment.
Guided Response Respond to at least one classmate with objesseniasaddler
Guided Response:
Respond to at least one
classmate with objectives and assessment ideas in the same grade range you chose (Pre-K-2nd, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and other) and one with objectives and assessment ideas in a completely different grade range.
Are their objectives clear and measurable?
Do they identify specifically, what the STUDENT will be doing and how?
Are they aligned (related) to the given standard?
It is important to remember professionalism in your feedback. You are to give constructive feedback by giving the author a different lens with which to view their original ideas. Therefore, provide them with a specific suggestion for making their objective and/or assessment more complex according to Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Laura Powell
Describe the purpose of a learning standard (referred to as a goal in Chapter 1) and the critical components of a learning objective.
How would you differentiate between the two if attempting to explain it to somebody else?
Eample: According to Lea, K. (2013)
Standard:
Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale. (This is a Common Core mathematics standard for seventh grade.)
Objective:
Students will compute lengths and areas of a classroom to create a blueprint of the classroom indicating the scale used. When finished, students will write a "sales pitch" to a person explaining why their blueprint is accurate and should be purchased.
A standard is what is expected and a objective is what goals are trying to be accomplished or met. With standards we teach what is suppose to be taught out of that subject and their are certain things from the subject that students needs to know and learn in order to move on and the objective is how can the teacher get the student there? What are the goals?
what is the relationship between formative assessments during instruction and the standards and objectives of that lesson?
It is hard to teach when the teacher does not know what type of learner they are trying to teach. So the relationship between assessment is to teach the teacher what type of student or learner they have. Than the standard is implying what the lesson is asking out the students and what the student needs to know from that lesson to master and the objectives are goals and steps to help the student get there. All three are vital ingrredents to help get the student where he or she needs to be to pass or master the lesson.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Instructional Goals
Before beginning to
write your
instructional
objective(s),
consider the larger
educational goal to
which the objective
leads.
3. There are certain
expectations from a child
who have completed
particular years of school.
For example:
We expect high school
graduates to be able to
solve problems
And to critically evaluate
issues and make decisions.
Instructional Goals
4. Students do not
achieve these goals
at one grade level or
in one class.
Instructional Goals
One teacher cannot be
responsible for students
achieving these goals.
(Or)
5. Begin by identifying the part of the
goal to be achieved in the lesson you
are teaching.
The National standards are a good
place to start.

6. What is an instructional
objective?
An objective is a description of a performance you want learners to be able to exhibit before you
considerthemcompetent. An objective describes an intended result of
instruction, ratherthan the process of instruction itself.
(Mager, p. 5)

7. Instructional Objective
An instructional objective describes
the intended result of the instruction.
It describes what a learnerwill be able
to do afterthe instruction.
9. Consider this educational goal.
Student will be able to find the area
of a triangle.
Task Analysis
What a student must be able to
do to complete this task?
10. Goal:
Students will be able to find the area of
the given triangle.
Tasks:
Identify the type of triangle.
Recall the formula to find the area of
the given triangle based on its type.
Apply the given measurements in the
formula.
Calculate the area of the given
triangle.
Task Analysis
11. Determining the ability of the
student:
After the task analysis is complete, you need
to determine which tasks students have
already mastered and which they continue
to need work. This is often referred to as
formative evaluation or formative
assessment.
Student Ability
Think about what a student
who achieved the objective,
was able to do?
Also think about what the
weakest students in your class
can do?
12. Now you should
have an idea of the
learning tasks to
establish for your
students.
The sample of
tasks you select
should reflect the
level at which
students are
operating in the

20. Summary:
Start the process of determining instructional
objectives by reviewing the subject area standards
for the grade level you are teaching.
Identify the standard your lesson is focused upon.
If the standard involves learning a complex
concept, generalization, or skill, complete a task
analysis.
Identify the steps in the task the lesson will
address.
The statement of an objective should reflect an
appropriate level in the cognitive, affective, or
psychomotor domain.
The statement identifies learning outcomes for
students and not actions by the teacher

Instructional Objective
Ask students to download National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 and NCF- Position paper on Teaching of Mathematics. Motivate them to do an analysis on the National goals/ Objectives of teaching Mathematics and initiate a discussion so that students understand the National objectives of teaching Mathematics at different levels.
The objectives are the backbone of teaching. The high level objectives allow you to decide the number of lessons, topics and sub –topics the course can be broken down into. These objectives also allow you to decide what the approach within the topics would be. The instructional objectives are focused on the national objectives of teaching mathematics.
Determining the ability of the students helps a teacher to identify level of performance that can be expected from the students.
Identify the levels which each task falls under according to Bloom’s. (Refer the poster/ print sheet). If the task is being extended to create a triangle that has the same area as the given one, then the level cognitive domain will also be extended higher order levels i.e., analysing, evaluating and creating. Once we identify the levels let us write the instructional objectives.
(Refer the content in the material “Writing Instructional Objectives” to explain this slide)
A-Audience: The who. "The student will be able to…"
B-Behavior: What a learner is expected to be able to do or the product or result of the doing. The behavior or product should be observable.
C-Condition: The important conditions under which the performance is to occur.
D-Degree: The criterion of acceptable performance. How well the learner must perform in order for the performance to be considered acceptable.
(Refer the content in the material “Writing Instructional Objectives” to explain this slide)
Motivate the students to write atleast one objective in each cell focusing on the respective dimension. At the end discuss the written objectives.
(Use Bloom’s taxonomy - worksheet)
