Outcomes and Indicators Example

Determine Outcomes and Indicators

What essential learner outcome(s)/content standard(s) will be assessed through this project?

What are observable and measurable indicators for each outcome/standard? In other words, how will we know it when we see it?

Outcome 1

Technology:
Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.

Outcome 2

Technology:
Students use technology resources for solving problems and making informed decisions.

Outcome 3

Technology/ Communications:
Students use a variety of media and formats to communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences.

Indicator 1

The learner will:

bulletuse the internet to gather information (text, pictures, video clips, audio clips) about 4 persons from the 60s.
Indicator 2

The learner will:

bulletdesign a decision-making grid using formulas and functions in a spreadsheet.
bulletchoose a person of the 60s using the grid.
Indicator 3

The learner will:

bulletcreate a web site about his/her chosen person of the 60s.


When writing the indicator statements, use action verbs that are observable and measurable, such as solve, design, write, compare, decide, draw, persuade, and investigate. Avoid indicator statements that include words such as know, understand, and appreciate since these are difficult to directly observe or measure.
