Educational Psychology / Unit 10   EDP 0902 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Goals from the Learner's Side

Captions available

The idea

Planning means selecting goals, turning them into objectives and linking them to prior knowledge; goals answer why a topic is taught, and are written from the learner's side.

In practice

"Students will explain the causes of the Civil War," not "I will cover the Civil War."

Where people slip

A goal names what students will learn, never what the teacher will do.
