Webinar Learning Objectives

Participants will construct a learning objective based on a content standard and aligned with appropriate independent practice.

Participants will identify examples of checking for understanding.

A Well Designed Learning Objective

What is a Learning Objective?

A statement that describes what students will be able to do, independently, at the end of a specific lesson as a result of your instruction.

It contains a Concept (idea), Skill (measurable), and sometimes the Context (condition) and Criterion (degree).

Page 13: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

A B C2 DA = Audience

B = Behavior (Measurable Skill)

C = Concept (Main Idea)

C = Condition (Context)

D = Degree (Measurable Criteria)

Page 14: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Sample Learning Objective

Students will use a short story from their literature books and will identify similes with 80% accuracy.

A = Audience = 7th grade students

B = Behavior (skill) = Identify

C = Concept = Similes

C = Condition = Use a short story…

D = Degree = 80% accuracy

Page 15: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Sample Learning Objective

After reading this article the learner will list at least five reasons why water is a necessary natural resource.

A = Audience B = Behavior (skill) C = Concept C = Condition D = Degree

How to Identify Learning Objectives1. Determine the assessment you will

administer to measure student achievement.

3. Deconstruct the standard.

2. Choose an essential grade level

content standard.

Page 20: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Deconstructing the StandardStep 1: Examine the requirements of the standard. What will students need

to do to complete the standard? Circle all verbsStep 2: Underline parts of the standard that requires direct instruction for

students to succeed.The underlined portions are likely places for CFU

Step 3: Box any components or criteria that are already outlined in the standard and that inform the development of this standards final product.

Step 4: Identify targeted learning objectives.Step 5: Review available released test questions.

Page 21: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Deconstructing the Standard 5th Grade Language Arts (Standard 1.3)

Understand and explain frequently used synonyms, antonyms, and homographs.

Deconstructing the Standard 5th Grade Language Arts (Standard 1.3) Understand and explain frequently used synonyms,

Step 2: Underline parts of the standard that requires direct instruction for students to succeed – the concepts you will teach.

Step 4: Identify targeted learning objectives

Page 25: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Understand frequently used synonyms. Understand frequently used antonyms. Understand frequently used homographs. Explain frequently used synonyms. Explain frequently used antonyms. Explain frequently used homographs.

Sample Targeted Learning ObjectivesUnderstand and explain frequently used synonyms,

antonyms, and homographs.

Page 26: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Beware of Ambiguous Words

We must ask ourselves - what do we, and the state, expect students to DO in order to demonstrate that they “understand” and how they will “explain”?

What are the ambiguous words in our learning objective? Understand and explain frequently used

synonyms, antonyms, and homographs.

Page 27: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

CST Release Question

Page 29: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Analyze the Test Question

How does this help us determine what skill is required of our 5th grade students?

Please type in your responses.

Page 30: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Constructing a Learning ObjectiveChoose a selected skill from the deconstructed standard:

Understand frequently used synonyms.

Using the Bloom handout, write an appropriate learning objective. Type into the response box.

After reading a sentence, students will be able to select an appropriate synonym from a list of

synonyms.

A learning objective is not an activity. It helps the student understand the academic

purpose of the lesson A learning objective is not what the teacher

does; it is about what the audience, the student, will be able to do.

A learning objective is not just the standard itself.

Caveats……

Page 34: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

CFU Activity

Learning Objective Standards-based

Activity-Based

Students will use sponges to simulate how plants store water.

Using the plants that live in the desert, students will describe how the plants adapt to a shortage of water.

Page 35: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Revisiting Our Learning Objective

Participants will construct a learning objective based on a content standard and aligned with appropriate independent practice.

Page 36: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Independent PracticeStarting with End in Mind

An assignment that students complete by themselves with no help from the teacher and is aligned to the learning objective.

Page 37: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Two: Instruction That Works: Constructing Effective Learning Objectives and Checking for Understanding.

Example of Independent PracticeThird Grade Math Standard: 3.1Compare fractions represented by drawings or concrete materials to show equivalency and to add and subtract simple fractions in context.

Learning Objective: Students will add simple fractions.

Independent Practice:

HW Problems Aligned Y/N?

2/3 + 1 2/3=_____

3 /4 + 1 /4= ____

4/5 – 1/5= ____

Review Checklist Does the learning objective stem from a course standard? Is the learning objective measurable? Does the learning objective target one specific aspect of

expected performance? Is the learning objective student-centered? Does the learning objective utilize an effective, action verb

that targets the desired level of performance? Does the learning objective match released CST questions

and/or assessments? Does the learning objective specify appropriate conditions for

performance, if applicable? Is the learning objective written in terms of observable,

behavioral outcomes/skills?
