I believe that writing objectives are very important for us as teacher's so that we can stay on track and make sure that our student's are learning what they need to be learning to meet all of the standards that need to be met. If we do not write our objectives then we will have a harder time keeping track to whether students are stacking on track to be successful.
An example writing objective would be:
Given the disaster that my house currently is, during the week, with working full time and going to college full time, my family and I need to work together each weekend to clean the house and get caught up on laundry so that we will organized and cleaned up for another week.
Side note: I am an organized neat freak and Sundays are my favorite day as the house is cleaned and organized and laundry is caught up.
I think it would be hard for anyone to argue that objectives aren't important. They do help teachers stay on track and ensure students learn what they want them to. Great objective.
ReplyDeleteSome teachers think they are a waste of time. On your objective, what would you say is the degree? By the way, in your first line, an apostrophe is not needed on teachers as it is a plural, not a possessive! :)
ReplyDeleteMy degree would be a little different. I used the degree of "each weekend."
DeleteMy house is constantly a battle in terms of laundry and organization. I totally emphathize with you and juggling multiple jobs/school. Time management is a nightmare sometimes...hence why I’m just not leaving a comment on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement that objectives are a compass for learning and teaching together. Having clear written objectives guide the learning process.
Thanks!

I agree that writing so that the students can see will also keep them on task. It also keep the teacher (us) on task too because Lord knows how much we forget things.
