It is so important for students to know what the target (Learning outcome) is if we want them to feel successful. Teachers who are students always want a clear picture of the expectation. We tend to be high level target shooters.

While this would seem common sense, it many times is missed by staff. Our district just added a lot of addtional guidelines for staff as they have opened new portals (facebook etc) to us on district servers. Even administrators miss on this one.
