Setting goals and objectives for learning. The teacher uses a standards-based teaching method integrated with state and local curriculum and establishes goals and objectives that describe what students will learn (West Virginia Department of Education, 2010). Therefore, it is important to establish developmentally appropriate instruction and activities that support lessons and components with West Virginia content, standards, and objectives. By clearly stating targeted objectives and incorporating content as well as disciplines, students will be informed about the material they will be learning so that they can constructively achieve the stated objectives, thereby increasing the chances of academic success (Department of West Virginia Education, 2010). 1d. Design instructions. The educator includes student participation whenever appropriate in the design of instruction in a manner that engages students in a series of focused instructional exercises that encourage West Virginia content standards and objectives and effects on Teaching Designed for Students (West Virginia Department of Education).,
