The purpose of a lesson objective is to outline the goals of the lesson.

It serves as a guide
and a benchmark for both the student and the teacher. It provides the teacher with a teaching
destination and the student with information describing exactly what he/she should be able to do
after learning the lesson.
Lesson objectives help to enhance a students learning experience by providing them with
a sense of what is expected of them. Lesson objectives serve as a guide to students when
studying and mastering material. They help the student prioritize information based on
importance so that they are not overwhelmed.
Lesson objectives help the teacher be more effective by reminding the teacher of the
expected outcomes of a lesson. They help keep the teacher on task. They also aid the teacher in
finding beneficial and engaging graphics and activities that go along with the lesson and still
accomplish the intended goal.
