The document discusses the differences between goals and objectives in education. Goals are broad statements that define the end or target of learning, while objectives specify expected student behaviors. Objectives should include the audience, behavior, condition, and degree or level of performance. Well-written objectives are specific, measurable, observable, and show precise student behaviors. The document provides examples of goals and objectives in different subject areas and reviews best practices for writing goals and objectives using the SMART or ABCD methods.

1. Goals and Objectives REVIEW

2. What is the Goal? What is the Objective?

3. Goals : A goal defines the end toward which effort is directed.

4. Educational Goals Expectations held for groups of students Broad Attainable Target to be reached Usually based upon state standards

5. SMART Method S pecific - describe your goal in precise terms M easurable - make sure to include the measures that will be used to judge progress towards achieving the goal. A ttainable - construct a goal that is achievable. R elevant - Your goal should relate to attaining something that is necessary and of value. T ime-based - determine a date, timeframe, or schedule for your goal.

6. 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.

7. 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

8. ABCD Method A udience- Who are your learners? B ehavior- What do you expect them to do? C ondition- How will the learning take place? D egree- How much will be accomplished? http://www.personal.psu.edu/staff/b/x/bxb11/Objectives

9. Bloom’s Taxonomy Using 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

10. Examples of Objectives Science : 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 access to the coral reef, that will coincided with a 3 rating (or a proficient rating) on the PSSA writing rubric.

13. What are the differences between goals and objectives? Goals are general Goals are broad Goals are not as tangible It takes many objectives to measure a goal Objectives are precise Objectives are narrow Objective are tangible One objective is measurable
