Lesson planning is time consuming and difficult, but one of the most important aspects of teaching. In this course, you will learn concrete strategies to write focused, strategy/skill specific, and quantifiable aims. Avoid simple 5W, overly specific, or dangerously vague aims. Help students succeed by starting the lesson strong.
This is our least expensive course because it comes with shorter sections. Why shorter? Because writing aims and objectives require direct, brief, and specific strategies. No fluff here! Our short, but powerful course will provide teachers with specific strategies to develop effective aims and differentiate between an objective an aim. If you require a quick overview of aim an objective and a fool-proof strategy, then this short course is right for you.
But wait, additional support is available
If after taking this course, you continue to struggle with developing effective aims and/or objectives, you can order our 1 on 1 support for a low fee of $50.00 per session. With your purchase, our experienced education consultations will review your lesson plan and provide feedback on how to rewrite your aim and/or objective(s).
