I teach at the college level and we teach our teacher candidates not to use verbs that are not observable. I'm wondering if this will be confusing to teachers. In all of the assessment work I have done, courses I have taken, etc., we were told to never use any verbs for anything (i.e., goals, objectives, criteria, rubrics, etc.) that weren't measurable. So, I guess I'm just looking for a little clarification here on verb usage?

We are required by our district to have learning targets. How are learning targets different from learning goals? I'm not sure they are. Thu, 06 Aug 2015 08:58:08 -0400
