Your Analysis Why do teachers need to align the objectives, strategies and assessment? They need to align the objectives, strategies and assessment to attain the common goal and that is the objectives. Objective is what the student must learn in a specific subject matter. Strategies is all about the instruction done by the teacher it must be anchored on the objectives. Lastly the assessment is used to judge what the students learn or if the teacher’s instruction is effective. It is also anchored on the objectives. In attaining a goal you must to anchor these questions what you want, how you will do it and did they learned it.
