The document provides guidance on differentiating learning objectives to facilitate progress for different groups of students. It suggests using verbs like "all must", "most should", "some might", and "some should stretch to" when writing learning objectives. Two examples are given, one about generating maps of countries at different development levels and another about analyzing a speech. The overall goal is to design objectives that challenge students at different levels.
