The Articulate part of SBL to me has been the most helpful and important piece for me. The targets and scales have allowed for my classes to be much more focused on what the expectations are for them for each day of class. By clearly articulating the KUD, learning targets and scales it allows for the student to have a much better understanding of what students are expected to do. This allows for the teacher to design more effective units and summative assessments that reflect the true learning you are looking for from all of your students. The most important piece is that we, as teachers, are providing our students the foundation to their learning. By giving them clear targets and scales they will then be able to build their knowledge up from the foundation level. This then allows for students to be able to follow the blueprint that you have given them to be successful in your subject area.
