Clear Learning Purpose

Purpose = Expectations
Purpose = Expectations
Establishing a clear purpose for learning content serves as a priming mechanism for new learning and results in increased student understanding of the content (Gagné & Briggs, 1974; Hunter, 1976; Mager, 1962). Simply put, when students understand the purpose of a lesson, they learn more (Fraser, Walberg, Welch, & Hattie, 1987).
"The first thing students need to learn is what they're supposed to be learning." ~ Connie M. Moss, Susan M. Brookhart and Beverly A. Long
