The curriculum goals are reflected in the foundational and learning objectives
The learning objectives describe the specific knowledge, attitudes, skills, and strategies that students should develop in order to achieve the foundational objectives. These objectives guide the unit planning, instructional processes, resource selection, and assessment and evaluation. Individual student needs and abilities may require an adaptation to instruction, resources, or environment to help students achieve these objectives. (ELA curriculum)

Some objectives emphasize ways in which language is used for understanding, analyzing, and responding to literature, creating in a variety of literary forms, self-expression, and personal satisfaction. Others emphasize ways in which language is used in day-to-day living. They stress clear, concise communication, collaboration with others, presentation skills, reading of documents and other nonfiction, research, information management, and the use of technology. The two types of objectives suggest a range of rich and varied learning activities that enable students to strengthen and extend their language knowledge, skills, and strategies. These objectives allow students not only to fulfill their personal interests but also to achieve goals related to employment, citizenship, and lifelong learning. (ELA curriculum) |
