On the whiteboard, I have
written the learning goals
for each class. This helps
students understand
what is expected of them
and what they should get
out of each lesson. After
collaborating with my
colleagues, we decided to
do this to help students
understand "the point" of
the lesson and to help
teachers make sure that
their lesson plans
maintain a clear focus
