Learning targets are student-centered tools created by instructors to aid in the education process. Both teachers and students can use learning targets to measure progress and identify any problem areas in the classroom. Learning targets can be written in such a way as to clearly establish a lesson's major objective. This gives students a chance to see each assignment as part of a bigger picture, and gives teachers the ability to better organize lesson pacing. Learning targets can take various forms depending on how an instructor studied learning targets, or the subject a student is studying. Some, for instance, may explicitly state that a student should learn a skill, such as multiplying fractions, by the end of a certain period of time. Others may ask for theoretical knowledge, such as expecting a student to understand the historical ramifications of the most recent presidential election. While a learning target can take nearly any form, they are designed with the intent of aiding a student's education.[1][2]
