Trail of Next Step for Creating Success Criteria



After reflecting during the holidays on how my students were progressing towards developing and working towards success criteria, I was happy. However, I was still the one doing all the work. I had not yet tried anything that would allow them to have ownership. Today was the day!

Together we came up with questions that would be relvant to each level. From there we created our own assessment rubric for question in our coming inquiry.




Here is what we came up with:


This was a positive experience, that I feel the students now own and are able to clearly understand the different levels of questions.
