STEP Section 2 – Writing Standards-Based Measurable Objectives

Writing standards-based measurable objectives is crucial for a unit plan because it provides a

clear roadmap of the educational targets the instruction aims to meet. These objectives ensure

that teaching is aligned with academic standards and that student learning can be accurately

assessed. All objectives should clearly state what students will be able to accomplish and how it

will be measured. By setting measurable goals, educators can track student progress and make

informed adjustments to their teaching strategies to improve outcomes.

In

STEP Section 4

, you will plan a unit that is a minimum of 3 days. Prepare to teach this

planned unit in Topic 3 of this course. All unit components should align. For example, the

standards and objectives must align with your pre- and post-assessments.

Do not plan/teach this until you get feedback from both your instructor and your

cooperating teacher/mentor

on your objectives
