LEARNING INTENTIONS & SUCCESS CRITERIA DAN HAESLER

TODAY’S LEARNING INTENTION

To recognise the value, role and use of Learning Intentions & Success Criteria.

LEARNING INTENTIONS Learning not just doing

NEW KNOWLEDGE

NEW SKILL

NEW UNDERSTANDING

WHY BOTHER?

•  Learners focus on the purpose of the activity, rather than simply completing the activity;

•  Learners know where to focus their efforts

•  Learners more likely to stay 'on task.’

•  Learners take more responsibility for learning.

LEARNING INTENTION (LI)

Success Criteria (SC) DIRECTLY linked to Learning Intention

Activities are designed so students have opportunity(ies) to

achieve the SC & reach the LI

Teacher questions in relation to LI & SC

Self & Peer Assessment in light

of SC and LI

Teacher feedback relates to LI & SC

Assessment Task matches the LI

WHEN?

LET’S PLAN…

•  WHAT is my learning intention (skill, knowledge, understanding)

•  WHEN is the best time to communicate this?

•  How will we (teacher and students) know when they have achieved?

•  What activities will move them towards this?

•  When/how will they get feedback?

•  When/how will they have opportunity to act on feedback?

FEEDBACK

SUCCESS CRITERIA

SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS CRITERIA

•  Learners understand it

•  Not overwhelming

•  Focus on learning

•  Include examples

•  Co-created with learners if possible

RUBRICS Friend or foe?

•  Rubrics can empower learners to evaluate their progress during an activity and evaluate their achievement upon completion.

•  Peers can provide feedback using the rubrics during or post an activity

•  Rubrics can help teachers frame their feedback to promote learning during and post an activity

HOW CAN WE USE RUBRICS TO ENCOURAGE GROWTH?

MORE PLANNING…

FEEDBACK

NOW WHAT?

•  Choose 1 or 2 things to act on

•  Focus on LI or SC (at the moment)

•  Write the plan down!

•  What are you going to keep/stop/start doing?
