that allow educators to be

(Source: Spady, 1994; Killen, 2000)
OBE Principles Explanation Application to practice
Clarity of focus Focus on what
learners should be able
to do successfully
Help learners develop
competencies
Enable predetermined significant
outcomes
Clarify short & long term learning
intentions
Focus assessments on significant
outcomes
Design down Begin curriculum
design with a clear
definition of the
significant learning
that learners are to
achieve by the end of
their formal education
Develop systematic education
curricula
Trace back from desired end
results
Identity “learning building blocks”
Link planning, teaching &
assessment decisions to
significant learner outcomes
High
expectations
Establish high,
challenging
performance standards
Engage deeply with issues on
learning
Push beyond where normally have
gone
Expanded
opportunities
Do not learn same
thing in same way in
same time
Provide multiple learning
opportunities matching learner’s
needs with teaching techniques
