Writing standard objectives never been so easy ! by Federico A. Quintana

Writing the weekly TEKS objectives on the whiteboard may consume some space, often erased off and re-write, and forget to make the changes in accord to the weekly lesson plan. Writing two objectives (lesson and state mandated curriculum standards) on the whiteboard can be eye-crossing, confusing or too wordy to read.

ASL MacGyver shows his trick of efficiency for displaying the TEKS objectives on the classroom tackoard which is easily readable, erasable, space-saver and guaranteed to improve the PDAS evaluation scores as the picture shown below:

  1.  Add or make some changes in the TEKS or state curriculum standards to fit your instructional styles  in MS office.

  2-Save it in PDF 

  3- Open the PDF document 

  4-Set the printer to “poster” setting and size the poster up to 200%-300%

  5-.       Put the pieces of pages altogether (the printer will print up to 6-8 pages for poster size)

  6-  LAMINATE IT 

    7-Post it somewhere visible in order for the PDAS appraiser, administrators and students to be able notice it.   

    8- all it takes a dry marker to mark the “Check”, mark the circle for specific goals and write the date on the top of the poster.

   9-  It is a pretty durable and it cost me nothing.  

  10-   WORRY-FREE for the rest of the year and shine up your PDAS evaluations.
