Understanding Component 1C: Setting Instructional Outcomes
What is Component 1C?
- Instructional objectives inform students about what they are going to learn during a lesson.
- Objectives are important because they show students what they will be able to do or learn as a result of the lesson.
- These outcomes must be related to state standards, curriculum guides, and the common core.
Why do we need to know about component 1C?
- Component 1C is important, because teachers must:
- Have a focus for each activity, which is guided by the state standards
- Understand and show the students what they will learn as a result of a lesson.
- Reflect important learning in a topic area during a given lesson.
- Understand that learning outcomes should reflect a variety of knowledge domains: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
- Relate learning outcomes not only to their specific content area, but other content areas as well. Think cross curricular.
Elements
Value, Sequence, and Alignmnet
- Outcomes represent important learning in the content area.
- Outcomes need to be aligned to state standards, common core, and curricular guides.
- High expectations are reflected by the teacher.

Clarity
- The outcomes that students are to achieve are clearly stated.
- Outcomes are written in way that show student learning as a result of the lesson.
- Outcomes are assessed in a variety of the methods
Balance
- Outcomes must reflect a variety of learning outcomes.
- There are several types of outcomes: knowledge, skills, & dispositions.

- Skills outcomes: Physical or motor skill (bb.plsweb.com, 2014).
- Disposition outcomes: are habits that we instill in our students. Such as: curiosity, love for learning, critical thinking, etc.
Suitablilty for diverse learners
