I've always thought of the objective as a subsection of a goal. The goal could be to become strategic readers. One objective could be a strategy to move kids along to achieving that goal. I have to admit that I have a negative reaction when I hear the term "objective" because I remember curriculum guides in the US many years ago, maybe still true, where the objectives for one goal or standard could take all year and still you wouldn't have gotten to the essential stuff.

Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. —Helen Keller Visit my blog, A Teacher's Ruminations, and post a message. http://waingortgrade2spanishbilingual.blogspot.com/ Our district is moving towards having teachers post their objectives and children being aware of the objective. We are having difficulty coming to terms with our objectives. Is making connections to text an objective or a strategy/skill? I feel the objective is always to become stronger readers and the way we teach the children to become stronger readers is the strategy, but it is confusing. Leslie R.
