your students even know what success looks like for your lessons?
The Success Criteria Playbook: A Hands-On Guide to Making Learning
Visible and Measurable has your answers and more! As a classroom
teacher it can be hard to know if your students are learning. It’s
even harder to know how to adjust for differing assignments, tasks,
projects, and evolving expectations. Not all learning is the same,
and this book offers clear, teacher-friendly examples that I could
immediately take and apply to my own classroom, in whatever
scenario I found myself. This book offers wonderful examples from
real classrooms that made visualizing this in my own classroom
effortless. I was able to easily transfer this text into reality in
my classroom. My students know what we are learning, but more
importantly they know when they’ve got it, and those lightbulb
moments are what it’s all about!
