These are similar to goals but much more specific. They are attainable, measurable and are to be achieved within a stated period of time.

The organisational goals that must be achieved if the strategic intent is to be implemented.
Statements about expected outcomes that tell who is going to be doing what, when, and how much will be done. Measurable objectives become the criteria used to judge the impact of the project on the target audience and/or on organization effectiveness.
Statements about a department’s annual level of activity. Objectives are measurable, time bound activities, which illustrate how a department intends to reach its goals.
Synonymous with outcomes. Statements that describe measurable expectations of what students should be able to think, know or do when they've completed a given educational program. Each statement should describe one expectation; should not bundle several into one statement. The statements must be clear and easily understood by all faculty in the area/department.
Precise statements defining what program participants should be able to do upon completion of the program. Objectives state the intended changes in individuals, groups, or communities as a result of the educational program.

Objectives are statements of the expected outcomes of instruction that define what is to be learned.
Statements about what a child will learn to do and in what circumstances. Objectives may be intermediate steps leading to the accomplishment of a goal.
Specific results toward which effort is directed to achieve the each goal. Objective statements further define the goal and serve to identify specific activities that take place to achieve each goal. By monitoring the objectives through the use of performance indicators, the unit can identify how well it is achieving its goals.
Objectives are a statement of how you will measure success, your intended results. An objective should include: target group (who), level of achievement (what), and a timeframe (when). Objectives establish measurable benchmarks for success. An example of an objective is: By August 2007, fifty percent (50%) of the elementary school's participating in our program will have nutrition guidelines approved by the school board.

Should be detailed enough to provide an overall sense of what exactly is desired without outlining the specific steps necessary to achieve that end. Objectives are specific and measurable targets for accomplishment during the state time frame. Objectives link "upward" to Goals, link "downward" to Strategies, and they also link directly to Outcome/Effectiveness measures. Every Objective should have at least one Strategy. Whenever possible, every Objective should be linked to an outcome measure.
