Strengthen Your Teaching: Crafting High Quality Learning Objectives to Enhance Students’ Success

Are your course objectives truly driving student learning? Join us for an engaging, hands-on workshop designed to help faculty create clear, measurable, and assessment-aligned learning objectives that strengthen course design and improve student outcomes.

In this interactive session, participants will learn how to:

  • Identify the essential components of a high-quality learning objective

  • Understand what makes an objective specific, observable, and student-centered

  • Apply Bloom’s Taxonomy to write measurable objectives

  • Use the cognitive levels—remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create—to select action-oriented verbs that reflect deeper learning

  • Write clear, measurable, and actionable learning objectives

  • Practice transforming vague goals into objectives that guide instruction and assessment

  • Align learning objectives with assessments

  • Ensure that your exams, assignments, and learning activities accurately measure what you intend students to learn

Whether you’re designing a new course or refreshing an existing one, this workshop will equip you with the tools to elevate your teaching and enhance student success. All faculty—full-time, part-time, and adjunct—are welcome.
