Addressing Assessment Standards - Continued
Step 2: Creating Project Goals
Identifying what you want learners to learn from a project is the first, and most important, step in the project design process. From the assessment standards you selected in Step 1, create an initial set of project goals for your project.

Follow the steps below to create project goals for your Project Plan
- Review your assessment standards. As you look at your assessment standards, think about what you want your learners to be able to know, do, or understand.
- Review the list of 21st Century skills in the Resources | Thinking folder. These skills, developed by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, have been organized into three categories:
a. Learning and Innovation Skills
b. Information, Media, and Technology Skills
c. Life and Career Skills
 Note: As with assessment standards and critical outcomes, not all 21st Century skills need be addressed in a single project.
- Read the descriptions and select one to three skills that are the most relevant for your project. Incorporate the selected skills into the project goal(s) you write for your Project Plan.
- Refer to the Assessment Standards and Project Goals Rubric as you develop your project goal to ensure they meet the expectations.
- You may use the lines below to draft your ideas, but then type your initial set of
project goals into your Project Plan.
- After typing your draft project goals into your Project Plan, highlight your targeted higher-order thinking skills words using Revised Bloom's Taxonomy—Categorization of Verbs and 21st Century Skills—Words

- Revise your project goals to ensure they include higher-order thinking and 21st Century skills.
