WHAT IS A LEARNING TARGET? Learning targets are concrete goals written in student-friendly language that clearly describe what students will learn and be able to do by the end of a class, unit, project, or even a course. They begin with an “I can” statement and are posted in the classroom. Learning targets are most effective when visible to students. Educators can post learning targets on bulletin boards and white boards, homework assignments, rubrics, test prep, and assessments.

How can educators increase engagement and progress towards individualized goals for special populations? During this session we will explore effective ways to meet the needs of a variety of learners including, gifted, special education, at risk, and ELL populations.
