Where It All
Starts:
Creating a
Strong
Objective

+
What makes an effective
objective?
High-leverage:

Most important objective to increase student learning and

teacher proficiency

Practice-focused/Measurable:

Participants must be able to practice it in the session itself

You can easily measure whether or not participants meet

the objective

Doable:

Participants can accomplish the objective in the time you

have allotted

Taking Objectives from Good to

Great:
Non-example:
Teachers

will ask higher order questioning during

discussions.

Non-example:
Teachers

will ask inference questions during close reading.

Exemplar:
Design

inference questions on setting that can only be

answered with textual evidence.

+
Which one is the most
effective? 1. High Leverage
2. Practice-Focused/Measured
3. Doable

Option

1: Ask scaffolded questions when

students answer incorrectly.

Option

2: Respond to student errors at levels

G-H with the appropriate prompt.

Option

3: Teach guided reading effectively.

+
Convert Your Objective

Evaluate the objective for the PD session you are

planning based on these key questions:

Is it high-leverage- is it of highest importance for

the participants?

Is it practice-focused will teachers be able to do

something when they walk out of the workshop?

Is it measurable will you be able to easily be

able to easily evaluate if the accomplished the
objective?

Is it doable can you accomplish the objective in

one session?

Feedback: Creating Strong

Objectives

On a piece of poster board, write down your PD

objective and place it on the wall.

Without discussion, circulate around the room and give

feedback on objectives.

Highest-leverage?

Practice Focused?

Measurable?

Doable?

Go back to your original poster and revise your

objective based on feedback.
Then transfer it to your LP template.

deepen their understanding of your PD objective

Target what your participants should see
