Garry Middle School debrief

__Objective Activities:__ -Obtaining the right level of specificity is important -Have a goal for the day/lesson -An objective versus an explanation of the task -An objective must be tied to assessment to see if the objective has been reached or not -The objective cannot and should not cover everything the student will learn. Your objective may be 30% or 90% of what one specific student learns. -An objective is just a slice of the potential learning
