Clear Learning Goal

Student Friendly Language

Rationale: When a teacher uses visible student friendly learning goals, they become meaningful targets the students can see and direct their effort toward.

Description: Visible learning goals are student-friendly descriptions— via words, pictures, actions, or some combination of the three—of what you intend students to learn or accomplish in a given lesson.
