Hi Victoria, I've read the objectives you've described. I have a sense that you could make these sharper and more specific, maybe based on the focal strategies you want to get across. For example, participants will understand the difficulty of students in comprehending word problems, develop strategies to foster problem comprehension ... strategies to facilitate problem solving... Please get ready to work out your units soon.
