What the Research Says about Learning Goals.....
"The starting place for all effective instruction is designing and communicating clear learning goals." Marzano
"Our collective goal is that the largest possible percentage of our students get there. To reach that goal we must define for ourselves and them where 'there' is. Any energy you invest in becoming clear about your targets will pay dividends." Stiggins
