SAVE TIME! How To Identify the Correct Lesson Objective
What
is the Objective of School? On
a tangible level the objective of school is to learn how to:
•
Interact with others
• Read
• Write
•
Learn
about numbers and how to compute them On
a broader level it is developing life skills necessary to live healthy
productive lives at home, in social settings and in work environments. On
the other hand, what about the intention of any particular
school assignment? Is it skill mastery? Exposure?
Review? Summarization? Is it all about memorizing every single fact
you’ve ever been exposed to and answering questions for the sake of
filling in the blanks? Perhaps
it’s all about learning how to learn and how to extrapolate what’s
needed to solve a problem, making applications to come up with viable
solutions and implementing new ideas. About
That Assignment Quite
often, a school assignment involves many parts that are all rolled
together. However, the
assignment can be distilled to identify those parts, all of which reveals
more key questions: •
What is the objective of each part? •
What skills are needed to successfully complete each part? •
Are the skills impacted in any way by the students’ learning needs? •
How can parents (or older students) restructure the part to achieve the
same goal, now using a different
skill to complete the assignment? On
Wednesday, March 17 at 7:15 PM, Mr. John Venninger, teacher and educator
will present for The CHILD Organization, SAVE TIME – How To Identify the
Correct Lesson Objective. This
hands-on workshop will take place
at The Scotch Plains
Municipal Building, Downstairs Level, located at 430 Park Avenue
