Reply To: Curiosity Path and Learning Targets & Success Criteria

Hey David,

Great question. Often many of us are mandated to include the learning goals at the start! Administrators site research that this wills strengthen student learning.

That’s why I do write learning goals on the board but try to be less specific. Try to write goals that are bigger and keep a little mystery. You can phrase them as questions that need answering.

Like,

“How can frogs help us be more precise with estimates?” –> https://learn.makemathmoments.com/task/jumping-frogs-2/

definitely address the specific learning goals after the “cat is out of the bag”. Usually this is done at the connect/consolidation phase.

What are others doing to keep learning goals curious?
