Section VIII.  Teaching Goals

Instructors should carefully analyze the Summary Statements and Learner Objectives and consider all data to construct Teaching Goals for improving the learner's literacy skills and strategies.  The Teaching Goals are declarative statements that specifically address what the instructor "will do" to facilitate the learner's progression in literacy skills and strategies.  Examples are as follows:

     * I will demonstrate a variety of reading strategies and encourage J. to use them to further develop his understanding of text.

     * I will demonstrate pre-reading strategies to encourage him to activate his background knowledge prior to reading.

     * I will provide mini-lessons on awareness and attention to end punctuation.

NOTE:  You will note that the Learner Objectives are closely aligned with the Summary Statements and Learner Objectives.
