Interest Approach

During traditional classroom instruction the teacher is free to talk with the student(s) and they may talk to one another. If the module are intended to be used alone and self-paced, teachers may want to include a comment here for the student that will peak her/his interest.

Performance Objectives (This section will sometimes be followed by an Activity section. Activity 1:1 would refer to an activity in Module 1 to goal 1, performance objective 1). See Module 2 for an example.)

X:1 Each performance is identified by module number, colon, goal number. For example, the performance objective 1:1 would refer to module 1, goal 1. The performance objective  2:1 would refer to module 2: goal 1.

X:2 Each performance includes: a quantity - a specific number of tasks or projects that should be completed; quality - standards for guidelines for the quantity; efficiency reference - performance will be satisfactory if both quantity and quality have been met according to instructions; durability - how long the acquired skill (s) will be tested or used (if not stated directly, students may assume acquired skill(s) should be maintained indefinitely); and condition - conditions under which the performance objective will be conducted - "the student will be allowed references" for example. 

X:3 The student will.... The student will..... Performance will be satisfactory if ....The student is expected to use the acquired skill/information and apply when appropriate for the duration of the semester. The student may reference the following materials....

X:4 The student will.... The student will..... Performance will be satisfactory if ....The student is expected to use the acquired skill/information and apply when appropriate for the duration of the semester. The student may reference the following materials....

X:5 The student will.... The student will..... Performance will be satisfactory if ....The student is expected to use the acquired skill/information and apply when appropriate for the duration of the semester. The student may reference the following materials....
