This Professional Learning module focuses on the importance of making explicit for students what they are going to learn. The learning intention (or objective) for a lesson or series of lessons is a statement which describes clearly what the teacher wants the students to

as a result of the learning and teaching activities.

The teacher knows why the students are engaged in a particular activity, but the students are not always able to differentiate between the activity and the learning that it is meant to promote. A carefully framed learning intention will direct students' attention to the learning. The learning intention emphasises what the students will learn, rather than what they will do.

The teacher shares this learning intention with her students, either orally or in writing. Sometimes the learning intention is written on the board and shared with students at the beginning of a lesson or unit. At other times it is not mentioned until after the engagement activity.

The learning intention could also be called the learning objective or goal. The terminology is not important, but the purpose certainly is.

The following links explore learning intentions in more detail.

There is some data that is very straightforward to take. Which one is the letter M? Student touches M. You mark correct. Johnny stand up. Johnny doesn't stand up. You mark incorrect. The skills that are easy to take data on our simple and generally include one component. Letter identification is one skill. Following one step directions is one skill. Yes there are a lot of other skills you need in order to accomplish the skill but in the moment, you can concretely decide a clear yes or no to whether the student demonstrated the skill.

Unfortunately not all behaviors and skills are that compact and discrete. Other concepts that we are teaching our students involve many steps and many skills. There isn't a clear plus or minus to give because so much goes into the task. Many higher level academics and more complex social skills fall into this category. Writing a paragraph, having an on-topic conversation, and completing a division word program involve much more than just one skill. For these more complex skills, giving a simple plus/minus or correct/incorrect is going to be unfair to the student but also you are going to lose out on a lot of valuable information.

How to Give Feedback | Teaching + Learning Lab

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Feedback has been known to be an important part of the learning process. Especially when coupled with deliberate practice, feedback can help students spend their time mastering aspects that they need to focus on most rather than practicing what they already know. Effective feedback works as a map to guide students by letting them know where they are now and what to work on in order to get to their goal. Without good feedback, students may carry misconceptions that they did not even realize they had while learning the material and walk aimlessly towards a goal without being sure how they can get there.
