Learning Targets
the FIP way
Why are Clear Learning Targets Important?
*Assure Assessment Accuracy
We collect and document the right evidence, at the right levels, in the right amounts.
*Guide Next Steps in Learning
Which targets has the student achieved? Which targets need more practice and support? what feedback should the teacher provide?
*Make Student Ownership Possible
When students have a clear understanding of the learning targets, they can begin to self-direct their learning.
How to Create a Learning Target
Types of Learning Targets
Knowledge Targets
Knowledge targets represent factual information, procedural knowledge and conceptual understanding that underpin each discipline.
Reasoning Targets
Specify the thought processes students are to learn to do well within a range of subjects.
Skill / Performance Targets
A demonstration or physical skill based performance is at the heart of the learning.
Product target
- A product is the focus of the learning target.
- The specifications for the quality for the product itself are the focus of teaching and assessment.
