Outcome Assessment Phase
Phase 2: Program Goals Program Goals are broad statements of the kinds of learning we hope
students will achieve – they describe learning outcomes and concepts (what you want students
to learn) in general terms (e.g., clear communication, problem-solving skills, etc.)
Phase 3: Subject Objectives O Subject objectives are brief statements that describe what
students will be expected to learn by the end of school year, course, unit, lesson, project, or
class period.
Phase 4: Desired Student Learning Outcomes Learning outcomes are statements that describe
significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can reliably demonstrate at
the end of a course or program. In other words, learning outcomes identify what the learner
will know and be able to do by the end of a course or program.
Phase 6: Deciding on Lesson Focus The first phase of a gradual release of responsibility model is
the focus lesson. This is the time when the teacher is demonstrating, modeling, and sharing his
or her thinking with students. Although this segment may be brief (5–15 minutes), it is powerful
Phase 7: Supporting Student Activities O Students apply principles of logical thinking and
persuasive argument in writing. 1. Forming opinion about the topic. 2. Researching and writing
about a variety of perspectives. 3. Adapting style to identified audience 4. Employing clear
argument in writing..
Phase 10: Mastery Learning Mastery learning is a method of instruction where the focus is on
the role of feedback in learning. Furthermore, mastery learning refers to a category of
instructional methods which establishes a level of performance that all students must “master”
before moving on to the next unit (Slavin, 1987).
