This week I found one article quite interesting that was apart of our weekly investment readings. The article was written by M. S. Whittington and featured in the Agriculture Education Magazine. Whittington's article talked about the importance of objectives in the classroom. It is important to provide students with a "road map" of what they will learn and what is expected of them. Her article goes on talk about the importance of writing objectives for the different levels of cognitive learning. She uses Bloom's Taxonomy to achieve this. Most important advice I took away from her article was that in order to provide clarity, objectives written for higher order cognitive ability or lower level must also be taught and evaluated at the same level. This allows the student to see the entire picture of how everything flows together. I will keep this advice in mind as I continue to write my unit plans and lesson plans!
