Photorealistic close-up of a teacher's hands at a wooden desk drafting a learning-objectives checklist: a printed page with visible checkboxes (some checked) and blank lines, a pen marking a box. Nearby, a laptop and open planner sit with screens softly blurred, sticky notes and a small stack of curriculum binders add texture, and subtle icon cards (pencil, ruler, gears) suggest measurable verbs. A rubric sheet with scoring boxes remains intentionally unreadable. Warm window light and a shallow depth of field render the classroom behind softly out of focus as students collaborate, creating an editorial, focused moment of planning and purpose.
  • [ ] Aligned to a named curriculum standard or unit goal
  • [ ] Uses an observable verb (see verbs list below)
  • [ ] Contains condition and degree (ABCD)
  • [ ] Includes at least one skill-based outcome (not only fact recall)
  • [ ] Has a student‑friendly translation (“I can…”)
  • [ ] Includes success criteria (how to know it’s achieved)
  • [ ] Has at least one formative check you will use during class
  • [ ] Has summative evidence planned (test, performance, project, portfolio)

Useful measurable verbs (not exhaustive): list, label, describe, calculate, compare, contrast, predict, design, construct, explain, justify, analyze, measure, interpret, evaluate, create.

Do NOT use: understand, learn, appreciate, know (without operationalizing).
