Learning Goals Table

Set your learning goals in the following table:
 * **Unit Planning Steps ** || **Specific Areas Where I Want to Focus My Learning ** ||
 * Determine specific learning goals || Select topics that are narrower, rather than too broad. In other words, teach specific topics and not a lot of topics. ||
 * Develop Curriculum-Framing Questions || Ask the questions that will motivate students to research and find their own answers. ||
 * Make an Assessment Plan || Begin with the end in mind. Start with test questions and then plan the lessons. ||
 * Design Activities || Use activities that will let students discover their own answers. ||

1. Determine specific learning goals from content standards and 21st century skills to ensure students delve deeply into a significant, core area of your curriculum.

2. Develop Curriculum-Framing Questions to help guide the unit and help students focus on important themes and concepts, targeting those big ideas.

3. Make an assessment plan that demonstrates student-centered, ongoing, and reflective assessments.

4. Design activities that meet the learning needs of students, connect to the world outside of the classroom, and include meaningful tasks or projects that incorporate the use of technology.
