Component 1c:
Selecting Instructional Goals
What is Component 1c?
Teachers must create daily objectives for each goal of a lesson. By designing objectives, teachers provide their students with a clear message of what is expected from them. In order to create these goals, teachers must use tools such as state standards, common core, and curriculum as a guide.
Why is Component 1c important?
It is vital that teachers design objectives so that students know what they will be doing in class and how they will be executing learned information. Students also receive insight into other content areas because goals often encompass various ideas. Furthermore, these objectives are beneficial for teachers because they keep them on task and discourage a lesson from coming off track.
Elements
By designing curriculum based objectives, teachers can demonstrate the first element which is value, sequence, and alignment. These are vital aspects of teaching because they allow a teacher to cover all required material and go in order of content relevancy. The second element, clarity, is another necessary part of selecting instructional goals because it allows students to clearly understand what they are expected to accomplish. Assessment is a key part of this element as it is designed to test the effectiveness of a teacher's clarity. Balance is another element that if used correctly leads to knowledge, skill, and dispositions. Teachers must have balance in the classroom in order to engage different types of learners. Lastly, teachers must have sustainability for diverse learners which allows students of different learning habits to adapt to each lesson.
