Communication of Intent is a key part of objectives
Objective: statement of what your students should be able to do after instruction
Needs of Students
Increased diversity has lead to more Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students in classes
Students are learning English as a Second Language (ESL)
English Language Learners (ELL) and Limited English Proficient (LEP)
Students who have yet to fully grasp English
All students should be mainstreamed as allowable
Individualized education plan (IEP) have specific goals and state specific needs of the student and the plan of action for that student
Be aware that students perform at different levels
Key Points
Learning must have direction and purpose
Learning is a change in an individual's capacity to perform as a result of experience
