Writing Lesson Objectives

Lesson objectives are written in performance (behavioral) terms
They direct the student to do something that is observable and measurable (not students will learn)
Lesson objectives specify: Who will do something (Student will )
What will be done (Student will dribble a basketball in a figure-8 pattern)
Criteria for judging performance (Student will dribble a basketball in a figure eight pattern twice around the 4 cones without
losing control of the ball.)

Qualitative criteria is without losing control of the ball (observable)

Quantitative criteria is twice (measurable)
Psychomotor: What students will DO
Cognitive: What students will KNOW
Affective: DESIRED BEHAVIORS and how students will interact with others
