Learning targets: �Are achievement expectations that we have for students on the path toward mastery of a standard �These are what we need students to “know” and “do” in order to master a standard and are the skills that we formatively assess along the way! �See next slide for an example of learning targets derived from a standard. ***It is NOT necessary to unpack all standards into learning targets – but is beneficial to do this for standards that are complex and/or standards that students perform weaker on. Learning targets should be in student-user language? (“I can…”): “When students know what they are learning, their performance on the average has been shown to be significantly higher then that of students who do not know what they are learning. ” (Marzano, 2005)

Learning Target Example Standard Learning Target Assessment Example Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems. I can convert (change) measurement units within the same measurement system Change 24 inches to feet I can solve multi-step word problems using measurement conversions. Aimee has 5 feet of ribbon and must divide it into four equal pieces. How long is each piece in feet and inches? Change 6 feet to yards
