STEP ONE: DEFINE THE GOALS AND OUTCOMES

As mentioned in Figure 8.2, the first step in the compacting process is to define the goals and outcomes of the unit. This entails having a thorough understanding of both the content and standards embedded within the lesson or lessons. It is the teacher’s responsibility to have a strong grasp of what the students are expected to know, understand, and do (Tomlinson, 2001) before proceeding to the next step in the process. No two students are the same, but this is true of teachers as well. One of the wonderful characteristics of curriculum compacting is that it can accommodate any teaching style, as long as the individual has a thorough knowledge of the content to be studied and is capable of carefully analyzing student data (Sisk, 1988).
