Excerpt from Chapter 16:

    "A clear objective articulated by a teacher in terms of student mastery is the indispensable anchor of good daily lesson planning. It serves as the control tower, always in touch and guiding the glide path of the lesson. The quality of one’s thinking about objectives in relation to significant content directly accounts for the effectiveness of student learning experiences.  In this section, we show how that is so and provide guidelines for crafting good objectives."
