Learning Targets

Learning targets are the specific skills and content students will learn in a unit or lesson.

Learning targets are:

  • Written from the viewpoint of the learner: “I can…”

  • Shared with the learners at the beginning of the lesson/project

  • Address curricular goals of knowledge and skill, and also social-emotional skills

  • Used for learner’s self-assessment during lesson and/or at the end
