From Content to Competency: A Rekla How-To Guide for Redesigning Lesson Objectives 🌱
Are your lesson objectives long, rigid, and disconnected from what students can actually do? Many teachers feel weighed down by scripted plans and endless paperwork, but real learning is about visible outcomes, not just written intentions.
This Rekla How-To Guide gives you a step-by-step process for transforming traditional objectives into competency-driven learning outcomes that are flexible, practical, and easier to assess. Inspired by Finnish pedagogy and aligned with Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), it’s designed for teachers around the world who want to lighten planning while deepening learning.
What’s inside:
🎯 The 4-Step Redesign Process: Content → Competency → Evidence → Flexibility → Reflection.
📘 Before & After Examples across subjects (Math, Science, Language, Social Studies).
🌍 Bloom’s Taxonomy Action Verbs Chart: a practical word bank for writing clear, measurable outcomes.
🛡 Micromanager-Proof Overlay: meet school or supervisor requirements without adding extra stress.
📝 Practice Prompts & Templates: rewrite your own objectives step by step.
✅ Full Worked Lesson Example (“Ecosystems in Balance,” Gr. 3–5) showing the redesign in action.
