What's the Difference between Objectives for Courses, Unit Plans and Lessons?

In general, Segment and Course Objectives should be detailed enough down to the individual rubrics for each Lesson. 

This is because all objectives need to be spelled out at the Course level first, before you can select the sub-objectives for your Lessons and Unit Plans
 

The Objectives differ in the following aspects:

  
 

Application

Learning Outcomes

Attachment/ Selection

Course

Applies to all Unit Plans and Lessons within the Course.

Usually all objectives for the entire Course are included

Independent Objectives can be imported to a nested/ independent Course.

Unit Plan
(UP)

Applies to all Lessons within the Unit Plan.

Only a subset of the Course objectives are selected.


Independent Unit Plan - Objectives can be imported

Nested Unit Plan - Select objectives from the Course Objectives that have been applied.*
 

Lesson

Applies to the specific Lesson only.

Only a subset of the Unit objectives are selected.

Independent Lesson - Objectives can be imported

Nested Lesson - Select objectives from the Course Objectives that have been applied.*

*You can only select the applicable objectives in a Unit Plan or Lesson when an Objectives document has been imported to the associated Course.
