Objective-to-Assessment Alignment Pack

Use this teacher-facing planner to check whether an actual student task elicits the learning named in an objective, produces observable evidence of it, and uses a criterion that recognizes the target. Work on one objective at a time and check local curriculum expectations yourself. The examples are invented Grade 6 illustrations, not a claim of universal grade or standards alignment.

All files are free. No email address, account, payment, trial or subscription is required.

Who it is for: Teacher planning and professional use
Preparation: About 5 minutes.
Use / example time: About 20 minutes. Estimate for a short colleague practice: 3 minutes directions, 7 minutes one worked case, 7 minutes to draft/check one alignment and 3 minutes debrief. Untested professional-use estimate; not student lesson time.
Teacher guidance: Separate teacher files include completed examples or answer and scoring guidance.

Support and adaptation

Support for the barrier of a crowded form or limited typing time: draft brief phrases in fields 1–6, use arrows to connect objective → task → evidence, then finish diagnosis, revision and checklist. A teacher may dictate their own planning notes or use the editable DOCX. This changes the mode of tool completion, not the student's target or evidence; a student response-mode change must be checked against the local objective.

Extension

Transfer extension: keep one objective fixed but change the task format or stimulus (for example, paragraph to labeled organizer, or one supplied data set to a second invented data set). Complete fields 3–8 again. Explain which evidence still demonstrates the objective, what the criterion must change, and what the new task can no longer show. The reasoning, not extra items, is the extension.
