1c: Setting Instructional Outcomes

One example of setting clear instructional outcomes with my students was during my Early Field Practicum. I discovered the importance of objectives and learned how to write them in a correct format that includes the audience, the behavior of the students, to what condition they meet the standard and to what degree it is accomplished. From a lesson plan created for kindergarten students, I was able to successfully show how clear standards are written. Writing the expected outcomes in students friendly terms for students to understand and know what is expected fo them and what they will be able to accomplish after the lesson is taught.

Setting Instructional Outcomes is the action of setting the learning objective or goal of what students should be able to do at the end of the lesson. Not all students are the same. Not everyone works at the same pace. Because of this, learning differentiation is needed to result in student success. On a lesson that I gave on November 3rd, I differentiated that outcome for the lower performing students. link above is that lesson plan for this day. I discuss the details of what the lower performing students' objectives are and change their expectations based on their individual needs.
