A Note on Learning Objectives

A well-written learning objective is stated from the learner’s perspective, uses only one action verb, and describes a specific, measurable outcome. Common action verbs include: list, cite, describe, define, identify, experience, practice, and examine.

A learning objective does not need to cover your entire presentation. It may focus on a specific component. For example, based on the sample objectives below, your presentation would need to include content that enables participants to identify when grief is a major cause of anxiety and depression, describe at least three techniques for working with clients experiencing grief, and observe demonstrations of EFT and imagery techniques. Your presentation may include additional material beyond what is listed in the objectives.

Examples of Learning Objectives:

1. Identify when grief is a major cause of anxiety and depression.

2. Define three effective techniques for assisting clients with grief issues.

3. Observe a demonstration using EFT and imagery to help resolve grief issues.
