A Bob Mager classic! Before you prepare instruction, it is important to be able to clearly state what the desired outcomes of that instruction should be. In the largest selling book ever written on this subject, Bob Mager gives you the tools to do that by describing the characteristics of well-stated objectives and showing you how to write objectives that match the instructional results you are seeking to achieve.
Preparing Instructional Objectives is your systematic guide to identifying, selecting, and writing well-stated objectives that create the foundation necessary to reach your instructional goals. The book will help you master the essential elements of writing a well-stated objective, including how to:
- Describe performances you expect to achieve,
- Identify the conditions under which you expect the performance to occur, and
- Set criteria for acceptable performance.
The book also includes a new Objectives Checklist to help you distinguish good objectives from those that need work.

"No other book, regardless of size or price, has ever taught me more about crafting instruction than Preparing Instructional Objectives. Bob Mager's easy-to-read style and the interactive features combine to make learning fun and fast. This isn't another book on learning theory; it's about how to create training programs that get the job done."
