Designing and Teaching Learning Goals and Objectives

by Robert J. Marzano

Designing and Teaching Learning Goals and Objectives is the first in a series of books collectively referred to as the Classroom Strategies That Work library. The purpose of this series is to provide classroom teachers with practical, research-based instructional strategies that have been proven to enhance student achievement. Each book includes a short summary of the key research before showing how to apply it in step-by-step, hands-on strategies. Short quizzes help readers assess their understanding of the instructional best practices explained in each section.

Designing and Teaching Learning Goals and Objectives can be used as a self-study, how-to text to effectively understand, design, and teach classroom goals and objectives. At the onset, this text turns the strongest research and theory on goal setting into easy-to-follow instructional strategies and shows the effect of well-taught, well-designed goals and objectives on student learning. Packed with Reproducibles, practical exercises, and engaging quizzes, it can be used for independent study, team learning, or facultywide. Following the useful instructional strategies and specific classroom applications, with Designing and Teaching Learning Goals and Objectives all teachers will be able to create clear and focused instructional activities to ensure learning for all students.

The book provides a clear and concise explanation concerning how to connect learning goals with a rubric to determine mastery. Instruction is broken down into units so students may work on learning goals, then as the year progresses students can improve upon their performance. This helps to show how students can grow in their learning. A book worth a book study with principal and teachers.

I really like how Marzano and team put the scales together using Bloom's Taxonomy. Designing a Scale for the Friday PASS/Common Core quizes will be beneficial. I do feel using the 2.5 and 3.5 scores will be a little overwhelming at this time.

I liked Marzano's approach to goal setting for all learners. I really liked how he illustrated that in a goal setting classroom, students are always learning and should have multiple opportunities to show proficiency.
