Learning targets to me are defined as objectives specified by the
teacher in order to inform the students of what they will be learning
throughout the course of the year. I feel as if students should know
ahead of time what they will be able to accomplish once the year
is over. It promotes somewhat of an independence in learning that
makes them succeed more, because they know what is going to happen.
As a teacher I think it is my responsibility to tell students what will
be happening in the grade level that they are in to dismember and
scared possibilities that they would have of learning new material.
