Aligning Objectives to Standards

  Assessment Description

Instruction planning requires well-written learning objectives. A learning objective must be specific to the content being presented, measurable, and attainable by students within the restrictions of the class. Clear learning objectives keep the instruction focused and help the students understand the learning expectations. Learning objectives must also be aligned to academic standards. Accurate alignment will guide instructional planning and enhance student academic success.

Aligning learning objectives to state standards is an important part in developing a unit of study. Units of study can last for several days, weeks, or longer.
