Build A Clear Learning Target

What Will Your Learners Be Able to Do?

Before you decide what to explain or demonstrate, get clear about what you want someone to be able to do.

This free guide helps you write one learning target for a workshop, lesson, or training session. Everyday language and a basket-weaving example show the difference between a subject, an activity, and a result you can observe.

Use the prompts to identify your learner, choose one useful action, describe success, and decide how you’ll check their learning.

Inside: a practical example, guided writing prompts, a target checklist, and space to revise your target.

Allow about 10–15 minutes. Printable PDF for writing by hand. No teaching experience required.
