Writing Educational Objectives for Authentic Curricular Alignment
Instructor: Richard Currie, Ed.D., Director of Curriculum,
Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy
Learning Objectives: Participants will:

Understand the difference between a goal and an objective;
Know the components of a clear and measurable educational objective;
Understand a taxonomy of educational objectives for cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains;
Differentiate between the levels of learning in the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains; and
Recognize the importance of linking objectives to teaching and assessment for authentic curricular alignment.

Outcomes: Faculty who complete the program will be better able to write learning objectives for their classes. This will be an increase in their knowledge and in turn increase their competence to write “authentic” learning objectives and then perform teaching skills that are set to appropriate curricular alignment. The outcome will be measured by better curricular alignment, and more competent instructors. This will be measured by the 2009 faculty survey responses.
