    Methodology for Writing Measurable Objectives

    Measurable objectives are as simple to

    write as A-B-C-D-E.

    A = Audience: Who will be affected (target

    group)

    B = Behavior: The observable change

    (knowledge, attitude, behavior,

    process) that will occur in the target

    group because of your project.

    C = Conditions: How the behaviorswill be observed or measured, including the

    instruments to be used.

    D = Data: Levels of attainment that mustbe met in order for your project to be

    called a success (your definition).

    E = Era: Identifies when the effects ofyour program will be measured.

    (Era), 90% of the students in grades k-8(Audience)will eat (Behavior)at least 3

    servings of milk products per week (Conditions)

    as measured by increases in annual food

    service sales (Data).
