Learning Intentions and Success Criteria Examples

Learning Intention: I am learning

Learning intentions and success criteria have been provided as examples, but teachers should consider what their students are learning for the lesson they are teaching.

Success Criteria: I know I’ll have it when, ● I can

Learning Progression Example

“Learning progressions articulate a pathway to profciency” (Fisher & Frey, The Teacher Clarity Playbook, 10). However, we know that students have different background knowledge and/or previously learned skills. The learning progression is a cycle, rather than a clear step-by-step sequence. Consider your own students and determine where to start and how many cycles will be needed before moving to a summative assessment on this standard.
