It is better to think of general and specific SGOs being on a continuum. GeneralSpecific • Broad • Includes a significant proportion of the curriculum and key standards for a given course • Includes all, or a significant number, of a teacher’s students • Focused • Includes a particular subgroup of a teacher’s students, and/or • Includes specific content or skill
