A learning objective must be Specific to the content being taught, Measurable, Attainable by students, Relevant for students’ development and growth, and able to be accomplished within the Time restrictions of the class (SMART). Clear learning objectives keep the instruction focused and help the students understand the learning expectations. Learning objectives must also be aligned to academic standards. Accurate alignment will guide instructional planning and enhance student academic success.
