To enable students to reach long-range goals, the effective teacher breaks down each goal into specific, measurable short-term objectives. A goal for this module is that the participant will be able to write and select well written, appropriate instructional objectives for their students. This is a broad target, so measureable objectives must be developed. While goals and objectives can focus on social, developmental, and affective outcomes, the focus of this module is on cognitive goals and objectives, those most related to student academic achievement.
