Preparing Instructional Objecitves
I think it is extremely important to prepare instructional objectives in each domain of learning and at various levels. By preparing objectives, it helps in giving everyone a clear understanding in what is supposed to taken away from a lesson. And because every classroom will have students that learn in different ways, it is important to be able to relay the in various forms. By addressing the various levels in different ways, it allows students to learn across the board and provides a smaller degree of distance between your lowest level and and your highest level student.
I felt exactly the same way as you...each day my students would go, "Mr. Misner, what are we going to learn today?
ReplyDeleteNow, I establish an objective...the students KNOW where we are going and pretty much how long it will take to get there!
Objectives give us a purpose.
