Principle 3: DATA-INFORMED INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES
Clear Learning Goal
Rationale: When a teacher establishes and revisits the learning goal throughout a lesson, students learn more effectively by knowing what they are supposed to be learning, why they are learning it and are able to reflect on their progress towards reaching the goal.
Description: The learning goal is clearly stated and visible to the students and throughout the lesson or unit, it is revisited and students are given the opportunity to track their progress on reaching the goal through feedback provided by the teacher.
