The learning target explains what the assessment of the lesson will be about. It sets the basis of what the student's will be learning (or at least what they should be learning). An assessment connects to this because after the learning target and lesson take place, a teacher will assess how well a student truly understands the material that was put out for them. If the learning target was clear and done correctly, the assessments should come back well, if not, well it won't end as well.

Deriving a Learning Target
The most challenging part of deriving a learning target for me was definitely coming up with a learning target that would relate to every part of an assessment. When thinking of a learning target for something just in general, yeah it might not sound that hard, but then adding on that the learning target has to relate to every part of your lesson while still engaging to students, it making sense, etc. is a lot for me. Both teachers and students need to be able to understand and connect with the learning target and if they don't, the entire lesson and class period/time could suffer due to a poorly written learning target.

I agree with your statement on how if the learning target and that if it is not clear then the assessments will not give clear representation of what occurred during the lesson. It shows the importance of having clear and understandable learning targets.
