Key Skills in Youth Work

Objectives

Whilst your aim illustrates what you, as the youth worker, intend the activity to be, objectives describe what the young people will be able to do, or know, or value if the learning takes place, ie. objectives define a desired change of behaviour - the learning outcomes. Objectives are precise, unambiguous and time limited. They describe a standard to be achieved, written from the point of view of the young people.
Objectives can be used as benchmarks to test the success of an activity - that is, at the end of the activity had the young people achieved what had been intended.
The easy way to write objectives is to start each one: At the end of the session the young people will be able to: produce; identify; state; list. (Use positive, testable words)
