Reflection:
Now that you understand how to write objectives and performance criteria, you will better understand
how objectives and performance criteria are used in your training programs. Objectives and performance
criteria are also used by employers to do performance reviews.
Try writing objectives and performance criteria for other areas of your life such as budgeting, family goals,
life plans, etc. Remember: developing objectives allows you to create action plans. Objectives and
performance criteria also allow you to assess your progress and make changes to your plans if necessary.
