Moderator Notes: Thinking about teaching!
Skill Level Behavioral Objectives (SLBO) are widely used in education as an aid to both the teacher and the student. While simple in structure, they allow the teacher to be specific about the changes that are to be expected in student behavior and allow the student to know specifically what performances constitute success for each objective. Each SLBO has a statement of an experience and a set of behavior(s) that satisfy the SLBO. In the SLBO format it is intended that both the leader/teacher and the student/client know what knowledge and ability are expected. Boredom is eliminated by making the objective relevant to the student/client. One of the objectives in the use of SLBO's in the classroom is the reduction in or elimination of boredom. One such example is: “When the student/client is presented with a computer running a windows operating system with a standard word processor, the student/client is able to compose and print a simple assigned sentence.” Following are several of the ministries of the Champaign leadership and one or more SLBO for each, specifying a goal which is shown to the client and for which mastery is shown by the student/clients performance.
Book Exchange: Champaign has a recreational library of about four thousand books, which is run as an exchange library. Students or adults may have up to five books at a time without charge.
SLBO: After reading a book, the client is able to discuss the static content (low level: Names and situations) and/or (high level: morals and ethics) Book content.

Community Craft Closet: Champaign has a large assortment of craft items and manipulation of them is of value to clients. The client sorts the items of the collection and selects items to be fixed to correct the situation and is then able to explain what was done.
