Advice for creating Learning Objectives
• Have a maximum of 2 or 3 learning objectives per lesson
• Always have single objectives (avoid mixing eg. Describe and explain)
• Use words that allows you and the pupil to assess if the intended learning has taken place by the end of the lesson
• Be specific as possible – use the trigger words (list, explain, create…) to share with pupils exactly the nature and level of the learning intended
• Avoid general phrases such as ‘to know’ and ‘to be able to understand’
