Learning Objectives

Members of the Social Studies and Science Task Forces are meeting this week to work on turning the SLEs in those subjects into good Behavioral Objectives.  They were introduced to the Z-chart as a tool and they are hard at work writing objectives.  Why is it important that we spend time writing objectives?  The clearer we are about what we want the learner to learn, the better able we will be to communicate it to them and lead them to success in learning it.
