Definitionv1DF-189
Identity-level goal
a goal that describes the kind of person one is becoming rather than just the outcome to be achieved, functioning as a self-concept model that serves as a decision filter
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes 'identity-level goal' by specifying its genus (type of goal) and differentia (describing self-concept rather than outcome). It distinguishes it from outcome goals by emphasizing the self-concept function and decision-filter role. The definition is precise enough to avoid confusion with process goals or outcome goals while capturing the curriculum's emphasis on epistemic infrastructure and self-construction.
