The ARC-PA recognizes that writing instructional objectives that effectively guide student learning is no easy task. The ARC-PA has developed a guide that may be of help to applicant programs in developing syllabi and objectives, describing competencies, and writing syllabi. The document titled “Syllabi, Program Competencies, Learning Outcomes & Instructional Objectives, Standards 5th edition” is updated periodically and is available on the Entry Level Manuals and Guides page of this website.
