Let's Talk Learning Targets

I have a love-hate relationship with learning targets.  I understand the importance of sharing them with the students, making sure the targets are tied to standards, and lessons match the targets.  However, where do you post these things so that the kids can see them and we are not having to give up limited white board space?  Also, should they be changed daily, weekly, or depends on the subject?

Several years ago our school purchased large learning target posters.  You wrote the subjects down the left side and the targets on the right.  Although it was supposed to be dry erase I found it hard to erase and, at the time, the only cork strips for hanging near the front of the room where kids could see it was attached to the white board.  I'm thinking I used that poster two years and then abandoned for a new method... sentence strips in a pocket chart.  I thought that if I wrote them on sentence strips the students could read them more clearly and I could use the strips year after year.  Of course that didn't work!  Things change so often in education!  This year I'm trying photo frames.  I'll have to give up quite a bit of wall space, but I love the ease of writing and erasing on the frame.  Plus I think the frames make for a cleaner classier look.

Once I take these out to school I'll share in my classroom reveal how these are hung.  How do you post your learning targets?  How often do you change them?  Please comment below.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that would love to know.  Have a great weekend!
