In this book, Connie Moss and Susan Brookhart create a twist on the SWBAT seen in many classrooms.  Instead, they write the daily and larger goals for students in kid-friendly language, using "I will be able to..." to communicate their expectations.  This minor switch helps students to take ownership of their learning.  The idea is that students will read the "I will be able to...", know the target, participate in the lesson and know when they have achieved your objective.  This book outlines the strategies and goes in depth on how to create learning targets for all of your units.  Fair warning: It can be too overwhelming to follow all the steps suggested, but the conversation about learning targets is worthy of the read.
