Do your learning targets meet the criteria we've set out for learning goals or success criteria? Sometimes we see similarities between existing practices and those suggested here. In other cases, learning targets are reworded learning goals (using the words understand or know) that are developed from the standards, but, are not yet "lesson sized". In these cases there is work that needs to be done to consider developing "learning sized" lesson goals and aligned success criteria.

I am wondering if my perception is shared by others that the students also seemed to understand right away what success would look like, or as Bob said earlier, how they would know they were successful.

Engaging students with what the success criteria mean to them is key to their being able to apply them to their own work and the work of others. Thu, 06 Aug 2015 08:58:08 -0400
