Measurable Objectives

• Measurable the evaluator can assess the
  extent to which the teacher achieves the
  objective
• Objectives state the main points of
  tasks/competencies the teacher will perform (what
  will be done, how this will be measured, when it
  will be accomplished)
• Observable the evaluator can visibly see
  evidence that the teacher achieved the objective
  (i.e. data)
• Avoid abstract verbs like know, understand,
  appreciate, feel. These cannot be observed or
  measured.
