After observation of my students this year. I am well aware that they are unable to create and use success criteria to devlop their next steps for learning. I need to gather data to support my findings. I have developed a survey using survey monkey, an excellent data gathering site, and had all students answer it. 53% of students said that they could create some success criteria when given a learning intention, and 34% only being able to identify one step.
I then gave them a task as follows:
Write the success criteria for an agument to encourage the Government to make Cellphone usage free.
Here is an example of the success criteria I was given:
Success Criteria for free internet:
• Write a good argument to why the government should let the internet to be free.
• How would it affect other people worldwide?
• How would the people who had internet and was paying it feel if the internet was now free would they ask for their money back.
• Give a variety of question’s why it should be free.
It confirms my need to develop success criteria with students so that they have a recpie for success.
I have identified my target group as year 8 boys.
After discussions with Lyn Ross, I came up with a task sheet to explictly teach success criteria. Where students would create an animation powerpoint. We explored how we would make it successful and what aspects we would need to include.

ReplyDeleteIncase someone was wondering why my comment was removed, it was because I asked her to take it off. I wasn't happy with how I expressed my opinion.It actually taught me a lesson about making sure i think before I post. Once something is posted online it is there forever, and you need to be careful about what you say.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to articulate that I agreed with Kylie that my class also needs further development with success criteria. The way I said it came across as negative and that wasn't my intention.
