Constructing your own list of SMART verbs for writing learning objectives

Begin to construct your own list of SMART verbs for writing learning objectives.

Remember these verbs should describe what the learner should be able to do by the end of the session or activity.

Keep this list with you as you plan sessions, use it and develop it further as your confidence increases.

This list can be very helpful when planning for different levels of achievement in a session or series of sessions.

Construct your list using the different levels in Bloom, Dave and Krathwohl.
