Chapter1

Setting Objectives
//"The instructional strategy of setting objectives focuses on establishing a direction for learning."// (p.17)

Generalizations from McREL's research:
1. Setting instructional goals narrows what students focus on. 2. Teachers should encourage students to personalize the learning goals the teacher has identified for them. 3. Instructional goals should not be too specific. (p.17)
