Side study finale

Side study finale;

We attended a day of staff development during the second six weeks featuring Dr. John Crane. He commented on the writing of the objectives. His opinion was that the procedure was worthless and did nothing for the students. The only thing it did was help out administration in trying to determine what was being taught.

I continued my study to see what my results would be.

During this time all classes except for one had the objectives posted.

The range between highest class average and lowest was 6.6 points. The class with the highest average this time did not have the “advantage” of the objective written, it was the same class as last six weeks. They finished at +3 above the average. The class that had the lowest class average last time (without objectives) had the next to lowest average this time (and did have objectives). They were at -3 from the entire group average.

I’ll call the study over. I bow to Dr. Crain’s expert opinion.
