Excerpt from Chapter 20:

     "Overarching objectives are those big picture outcomes for students that, if a teacher actually has them, shape core practices and account for much of what we see in their classrooms. They come from teachers who have asked themselves what they most want for their students and what they hope their students will carry away at the end of the year."
