This document discusses the importance of using learning objectives and success criteria to help pupils take more responsibility for their own learning. It states that learning objectives define what pupils will learn, success criteria describe how pupils will know they have been successful, and both should be shared with pupils upfront. The benefits listed include pupils becoming more focused, independent learners with improved self-esteem and understanding. Teachers also benefit by having more effective planning and building stronger partnerships with pupils. Examples are provided of how to write clear and measurable success criteria linked to specific learning objectives and activities.

This document outlines a challenge-based learning example for teaching students about energy conservation. It presents the big idea of energy conservation and essential questions for students to consider. The challenge asks students to create a plan to more efficiently use energy resources at home or school. The document provides guiding questions, activities, and resources for students to research energy usage and alternative energy sources. It presents a sample solution of five easy ways to save energy every day. Finally, it discusses assessing student projects and sharing them through online tools.
Purpose: Teaching with Effective Learning Targets and Success CriteriaDr. Marci Shepard
In this all-day session, we were developing a common understanding of Purpose, a dimension in our instructional framework (5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning). We were learning that effective learning targets and success criteria are written for one lesson, linked to previous and future lessons, based on knowledge of standards and students, transferable and relevant beyond the lesson, accessible and understood by all students, embedded throughout instruction, measurable, aligned with the task and used for student self-assessment.
The document discusses learning goals and success criteria. It defines a learning goal as a curriculum expectation phrased in student-friendly language. Success criteria are "I can" statements that outline what students need to do to achieve the learning goal. Using learning goals and success criteria can improve student understanding, empower students, encourage independent learning, enable accurate feedback, and help teachers and students work toward common goals.
This document discusses the importance of using learning objectives, outcomes, and success criteria in lesson planning. It defines these terms and provides examples. Setting clear objectives helps pupils understand what they are learning and why. Describing outcomes and success criteria empowers pupils to take responsibility for their own learning and know how to be successful. When used consistently, these techniques can improve pupil focus, independence, understanding, and feedback.
51 ways to introduce learning objectivesDavid Didau
The document provides 51 ways to introduce learning objectives to students in an engaging manner, such as through word games, images, movies, music, coding, translating objectives into other languages, and having students determine objectives through problem solving or at the end of a lesson. Some methods encourage guessing objectives or determining success criteria. A few suggestions note that explicitly stating objectives can sometimes limit learning.
The document discusses the importance of learning objectives and providing clear success criteria for students. It emphasizes that objectives should be student-friendly, focus on skills rather than tasks, and include both short-term and long-term goals. Reflection during lessons allows students to assess their progress and teachers to address misunderstandings. Objectives mixed with context could cause students to focus on the wrong things, so they should be separated. Providing success criteria linked to objectives helps students understand expectations and how to improve.
