I thank you all for the interest. I will get back to provide you more details especially Whitney's and Squid's queries. Tank, sorry I made a promise to the human resource department not to divulge anything about the questionnaires (which bought online). I can post the data though. Thanks!

My (longtime) boyfriend has been a teacher for over 10 years and I am in a program to become a teacher. I would speculate that the highly motivated teachers find some of the objectives unnecessary or useless. I'm certainly not saying they all are, especially in my subject of physical education and health, but as a motivated teacher, I am more motivated to make sure my students enjoy the process of learning and understand how they can apply and use what I give them in their lives than to meet state objectivity lines. We can't be so disconnected. Ironically, many of those standards are created by people that know little if anything about education and progressive learning pedagogy... I know I will certainly meet many objectives by simply doing what I do, but I am not motivated 'to meet objectives'. I am motivated to instill a passion of learning in my students and make sure they gain worthwhile knowledge that they can use outside of the school setting. 

My two cents... 
Best of luck in your studies!
