What problem does it solve?

The Learning Target Authoring Guide provides a rigorous, practitioner-focused method to write precise, observable learning targets for competencies across developmental bands, reducing vague goals and topic lists.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standard decomposition of a competency into 2-3 observable learning targets that are individually assessable.
• Mandatory Knowledge Type classification (Type 1, 2, or 3) with explicit assessment routes and prerequisites where needed.
• Alignment with Manning's v4.0 methodology and backwards design to ensure mission-aligned planning across contexts.
• Broad applicability across curricula and wellbeing, assessment planning, and project-based learning.

Quick Start

Create two to three observable learning targets for a chosen competency using Manning's v4.0 method and present them with clear band progression across needed knowledge types.
