     Guiding Question: What is a standards-based 
     learning goal and objective? 
  Learning Goal 1:  The TC will know that a learning 
  goal states the standards-based information 
  students will know when the lesson is complete; 
  learning goals are stated in the “The student will 
  know that…….” format.
  Learning Goal 2: The TC will know that an 
  objective is a standards-based statement of what 
  the students will do to demonstrate how well they 
  have learned the content/or skill, under what 
  conditions and to what degree; objectives are 
  stated in the “The student will ……………..” 
  format.   
   Learning Goal 1----Objectives:  
   Obj. 1.  The TC will identify (select) all well-written 
   standards-based learning goals when reviewing his/her 
   own TWS.
   Obj. 2   The TC will identify (select) all learning goals that 
   do not conform to the guidelines for formulating effective 
   learning goals when reviewing his/her own TWS.
   Obj. 3   When developing his/her TWS, the TC will write  
   learning goals to conform to 5 of the 6 guidelines for 
   formulating effective learning goals.  
   Learning Goal 2----Objectives:  
   Obj. 1.  The TC will identify (choose) all well-written 
   standards-based objectives when reviewing his/her 
   own TWS.
   Obj. 2   The TC will identify (choose) all objectives that 
   do not conform to the guidelines for formulating 
   effective objectives when reviewing his/her own TWS.
   Obj. 3   When developing his/her TWS, the TC will write 
   objectives to conform to 6 of the 7 guidelines for 
   formulating effective objectives.  
     A well written learning 
     goal……
      Focuses on the standards-based concepts 
   and information the student will learn…
        …not on learning activities he or she will do.
     Focus on CONCEPTS, rather than on activities.
