Understanding by design - Gaining clarity on our goals

In this part of the book the author explains that as it was previously said, goals and objectives are the head that guide our teaching process and the way we face them. In this regard, it is quite relevant to stablish clear and specific goals, which are going to delineate for instance the kinds of activities and the procedures that we will take throughout the teaching process. The author says that the learning goals are not always the same, therefore, we have to know how to differenciate them in order to establish what set of actions we will take to reach those goals. That is why it is important to clarify the objectives of our teaching, so we can be conscious of the activities and tasks we will carry out. In this respect, I may say that in my ELABS I have noticed that teachers in general do not consider the goals when it comes to teaching, therefore their teaching is not meaningful at all, as they only cover contents in isolation.
