Organized with regard to methods and materialsWhat is the Value of Objectives to the Learner?.What is the Value of Objectives?From the learners perspective:Knowing what is expected of them/what they should learn

Understanding what KAS they should have at the end of the experience

(Strategy: Think Pair Share; variation: Think Pair Square Share)Educational TaxonomiesA taxonomy is a system that describes, identifies, and classifies groupsOrganized by levels of complexityIn education, three domains of learning are classified:CognitivePsychomotorAffectiveValue of Taxonomies? .Value of TaxonomiesUseful for writing objectives and developing test items/evaluations

Ensure that important categories of learning are not overlooked
