Standards specify content knowledge and essential skills, and sometimes highlight the importance of learning engagement.
These three kinds of goals correspond to the three brain networks central to learning: goals focused on specific content draw upon recognition networks; goals focused on skills, strategies, or processes draw upon strategic networks, and goals focused on enjoyment and appreciation draw upon affective networks. Though of course learning always involves all three brain networks, most learning standards focus primarily in one area.
Review the goal you have selected. Does it focus on specific content, a process, or engagement with the task? Select the one focus most central to the goal below. Your selection will
