Learning Targets are goals for lessons, projects, units, and courses. They are derived from standards and used to assess growth and achievement. They are written in concrete, student-friendly language - beginning with the stem “I can” - shared with students, posted in the classroom, and tracked carefully by students and teachers during the process of learning. Students spend a good deal of time discussing and analyzing them and may be involved in modifying or creating them. (Berger, Rugen, and Woodfin, 2014 - Leaders of Their Own Learning)
