Standards vs Targets Learning Standards Learning Targets Learning Standards are what we want students to be able to know (content) and do (curricular competency) at the end of any given learning period Learning Targets are the combination of content and curricular competency written in student-friendly language. Learning Targets are specific to the lesson or unit and directly connected to assessment. I can ask questions that help me understand why there are so many different animals living in Yukon.

Diving into Learning Targets Answer the questions “What are we doing today?” and “why are we learning this?” Explicitly connect the knowing with the doing by improving student understanding of the learning goals of a lesson or unit Are used in the process of formative and summative assessment

Learning Targets Learning targets: Are written in student-friendly language Are framed as I statements (I can, I am able, etc.) Each learning target combines at least one curricular competency and content piece

Learning Targets

Learning Targets I statement Curricular competency I am able to think and ask questions about how other people and cultures are similar and different. Content

Learning Target Practice Work with a colleague to create a few learning targets that each include: one content piece at least one curricular competency
