Purpose of this Presentation • Clarify the meaning of “measurable objective.” • Re-evaluate objectives you have written and work to enhance them and make them measureable.
Objective • An objective is NOT a goal • An objective is a statement which specifies, in measurable terms, the activity we expect our students to accomplish as a result of our instruction. • Include 12 Power Words in objectives when at all possible.
