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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649db45503460f94aa4b30/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649db45503460f94aa4b30/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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

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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649db45503460f94aa4b30/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649db45503460f94aa4b30/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Deconstructing the Standard 5th Grade Language Arts (Standard 1.3)
Understand and explain frequently used synonyms, antonyms, and homographs.
Step 1: Examine the requirements of the standard. What will students need to do to complete the standard? Circle all verbs

Deconstructing the Standard 5th Grade Language Arts (Standard 1.3) Understand and explain frequently used synonyms,
antonyms, and homographs.
Step 2: Underline parts of the standard that requires direct instruction for students to succeed – the concepts you will teach.

Sample Targeted Learning ObjectivesUnderstand and explain frequently used synonyms,
antonyms, and homographs.

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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649db45503460f94aa4b30/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

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.

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.

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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649db45503460f94aa4b30/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
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?
