During the LIASCD 2012 Spring Conference, Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey will present a variety of strategies that educators at all levels can use to ensure that students clearly understand the purpose behind every lesson. They will provide step-by-step guidance to help educators:
       Understand the difference between standards, objectives, and purpose statements, and craft the latter in terms that students can easily grasp.
       Involve students in understanding and "owning" the purpose of every lesson.
       Motivate students by conveying the relevance of content to students' lives.
       Develop classroom activities and assessments that allow students to demonstrate both their mastery of lesson content and their understanding of the lesson’s core purpose.
