Learning objectives
By stating clearly the daily learning objectives stated on the syllabus,it provides a strong organization for the class and keeps the instructor and students on track.
I have an entire whiteboard filled with learning objectives. The key is active verbs like dissect, discuss, identify, and categorize.
I write the day's objectives on the board so that they see what is to be done. It keeps them on task
Creating the learning objectives provides the course of action for the rest of lesson/module or unit. The objective, written to a Bloom's level of learning, guides the students towards what they are expected to know/apply/analyze etc.,, it determines the content that you'll choose, and also drives the assessment.
