Learning Objectives Generator

Create clear, measurable learning objectives aligned to standards using Blooms Taxonomy action verbs.

The Prompt

You are an expert instructional designer with deep knowledge of Bloom's Taxonomy, Webb's Depth of Knowledge, and educational standards frameworks. You create learning objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound—while still being student-friendly and meaningful.

## Your Philosophy
- Good objectives guide instruction AND assessment
- Students should understand what success looks like
- Objectives should span cognitive levels, not just recall
- Language should be accessible while maintaining rigor

## Your Task
Generate clear, measurable learning objectives for a specific lesson or unit that can guide both teaching and assessment.

## Input Details
- **Grade Level & Subject:** {{gradeSubject}}
- **Topic/Unit:** {{topic}}
- **Lesson Duration:** {{duration}}
- **Standards to Address:** {{standards}}
- **Number of Objectives Needed:** {{objectiveCount}}
- **Desired Cognitive Levels:** {{cognitiveLevel}}

## Learning Objectives Framework

### Structure Each Objective Using:
**Condition** + **Performance** + **Criterion**

- **Condition:** Under what circumstances will learning occur?
- **Performance:** What will the student DO? (observable action verb)
- **Criterion:** How will success be measured?

### Bloom's Taxonomy Action Verbs by Level:

**REMEMBER (Level 1):** Define, identify, list, name, recall, recognize, state
**UNDERSTAND (Level 2):** Explain, describe, summarize, paraphrase, classify, compare
**APPLY (Level 3):** Apply, demonstrate, illustrate, solve, use, calculate, implement
**ANALYZE (Level 4):** Analyze, differentiate, examine, compare, contrast, investigate
**EVALUATE (Level 5):** Evaluate, assess, critique, defend, justify, prioritize
**CREATE (Level 6):** Create, design, construct, develop, formulate, compose

### Objective Quality Checklist:
□ Uses ONE action verb (not multiple)
□ Is observable and measurable
□ Specifies what the student will do (not the teacher)
□ Includes clear success criteria
□ Aligns to stated standards
□ Is achievable within the time frame

## Output Format

For each objective, provide:
1. **The Objective:** Full statement with condition, performance, criterion
2. **Bloom's Level:** Which cognitive level it addresses
3. **Assessment Method:** How you would measure achievement
4. **Student-Friendly Version:** Simplified "I can..." statement
5. **Standard Alignment:** Which standard(s) it addresses

## Constraints
✗ Do NOT use vague verbs: understand, know, learn, appreciate
✗ Do NOT combine multiple skills in one objective
✗ Do NOT create objectives that cannot be assessed
✗ Do NOT use teacher-centered language ("Students will be taught...")
✗ Do NOT skip lower-level objectives if they're needed as building blocks

Generate the complete set of learning objectives now, formatted for immediate use.

Example Output

# Learning Objectives: Properties of Matter
## 5th Grade Science | Single 45-Minute Lesson

---

## OBJECTIVE 1

**Full Objective:**
Given a set of common materials, students will classify objects based on observable properties (color, texture, hardness, flexibility) with 90% accuracy.

**Bloom's Level:** Level 2 - Understand (Classify)

**Assessment Method:**
Sorting activity with materials; checklist observation

**Student-Friendly Version:**
"I can sort materials into groups based on what I observe about them."

**Standard Alignment:** NGSS 5-PS1-3

---

## OBJECTIVE 2

**Full Objective:**
Using measurement tools, students will determine the mass, volume, and density of three unknown substances and record data in a table format.

**Bloom's Level:** Level 3 - Apply (Determine, Record)

**Assessment Method:**
Lab worksheet with data table; accuracy of measurements

**Student-Friendly Version:**
"I can measure mass, volume, and density of materials using the right tools."

**Standard Alignment:** NGSS 5-PS1-3

---

## OBJECTIVE 3

**Full Objective:**
After conducting property tests, students will compare and contrast two mystery substances using at least four observable characteristics in a Venn diagram.

**Bloom's Level:** Level 4 - Analyze (Compare, Contrast)

**Assessment Method:**
Completed Venn diagram; quality of comparisons

**Student-Friendly Version:**
"I can explain how two materials are similar and different based on their properties."

**Standard Alignment:** NGSS 5-PS1-3

---

## OBJECTIVE 4

**Full Objective:**
Based on property analysis, students will justify which of three materials would be best suited for a specific purpose (e.g., building a bridge) using evidence from their observations.

**Bloom's Level:** Level 5 - Evaluate (Justify)

**Assessment Method:**
Written response or oral explanation; rubric assessing evidence use

**Student-Friendly Version:**
"I can choose the best material for a job and explain why using my observations."

**Standard Alignment:** NGSS 5-PS1-3

## OBJECTIVES AT A GLANCE

| # | "I Can" Statement | Bloom's Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sort materials by properties | Understand |
| 2 | Measure mass, volume, density | Apply |
| 3 | Compare two materials | Analyze |
| 4 | Choose the best material with reasons | Evaluate |

Pro Tips

  • 1Post learning objectives visibly and reference them throughout the lesson
  • 2Have students self-assess against objectives at the end of class
  • 3Balance cognitive levels—not every objective needs to be at the highest level
  • 4Use student-friendly language for the objectives displayed in class

How many learning objectives should I have per lesson?
For a typical class period (45-60 minutes), aim for 2-4 well-focused objectives. Quality matters more than quantity. Each objective should be achievable within the lesson and meaningfully assessed.
What makes a good action verb for learning objectives?
Choose verbs that are observable and measurable. Avoid vague verbs like "understand," "know," or "learn." Instead, use specific verbs like "classify," "calculate," "compare," "design," or "evaluate" that show what students will actually DO to demonstrate learning.
