About

This quiz addresses the fundamental pedagogical concepts of learning targets and success criteria, which are essential components of effective instructional design and assessment practices. The content focuses on helping educators understand how to clearly articulate learning objectives, establish measurable criteria for student success, and implement both formative and summative assessment strategies. Students working through this material need a solid foundation in educational theory, including understanding the distinction between what students will learn (learning targets) versus how they will demonstrate that learning (success criteria). The quiz also covers practical implementation strategies such as timing, communication methods, and assessment tools. This content is most appropriate for graduate-level education courses or professional development programs, as it requires sophisticated understanding of curriculum design, assessment theory, and instructional practices that go well beyond K-12 student knowledge. Created by Dani Rowe, an educator in the US who teaches at the post-secondary level. This professional development quiz serves as an excellent tool for teacher training programs, education courses, or staff development sessions focused on improving instructional design. The quiz effectively supports learning through a combination of conceptual questions and practical application scenarios, making it ideal for use as a formative assessment during workshops, a review activity following professional development sessions, or a self-assessment tool for educators seeking to strengthen their understanding of standards-based instruction. The content directly aligns with professional teaching standards that emphasize clear learning objectives, effective assessment practices, and student-centered instruction, supporting educators in developing the skills necessary to create transparent learning environments where students understand both what they are learning and how success will be measured.
