EC153 - Strengthening CTE Instruction with Clear Learning Goals

This course, designed especially for CTE educators, explores the role that goals play in learning and how they are an important part of a CTE course. Simply put, learning goals give students a clear understanding of what they are expected to know and be able to do by the end of a learning experience or unit of study. When an instructor sets clear goals for their courses, or for a learning experience, students know where they’re headed. Just as a GPS lets travelers know where they will arrive at the end of their journey, a clear goal gives learners an understanding of what is expected of them.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. When a CTE teacher designs instruction using the UDL framework, they start with a clear learning goal, consider the variability of learners in their course, predict what barriers learners might face when trying to meet the goal, and then, design their instruction to remove as many barriers as possible. When teachers approach instructional design using UDL, learning environments are more accessible, inclusive, equitable and challenging for every learner. And, these equitable learning environments all begin with clear learning goals! (CAST, The Goal of UDL)
