How do we currently use success criteria?
The ingredients of learning objectives
‘Any learner needs to know what they are learning to do and what they will be judged on.’ Gilbert (2010)
Not ‘Guess what is inside the teacher’s head but informed learning.’
Tools for equipping learners to self- and peer-assess.
First Principles Linked with key skills for knowledge Known by teachers first Same for all – differentiation by
supported activity Generated by pupils Constantly referred to Used for peer and self assessment Broken down into further criteria
Pupil generated success criteria
Possible lesson pathway
‘‘It’s bright”It’s bright”‘The Christmas trees are nice’‘The Christmas trees are nice’
‘The letters are a bit funny sometimes’‘The letters are a bit funny sometimes’
‘‘The reindeer is nice.’The reindeer is nice.’‘Yellow drawings don’t stand out.’‘Yellow drawings don’t stand out.’
‘This is the easiest to read.’

Year 2 Great Fire of London
Model of ExcellenceLondon, in the Year of 1666. It was the middle of the summer and not a single drop of rain had fallen from the warm sky. At Pudding Lane in a small baker’s factory, an exhausted baker called Thomas Farynor, totally forgot to put his oven out and little sparks began to jump out of the hearth. Nobody noticed, they just kept on snoozing in their cosy beds on the hottest, driest night of the year.
Flames started to grow, naughty sparks joined them and thehungry fire grew and grew and spread very quickly throughstreets, eating its way from house to house until it was out of control.
Generation of success criteria with pupils Interesting start to hook reader in Retell events in order Factual information Descriptive detail to engage reader Include specific names Past tense Time connectives Sentence starts Non negotiables

Possible ways to develop pupil generated success criteria
Prove it/doing it wrong A finished product Comparison of two products Sloppy success criteria Teacher demonstration Retrospective generating Revisiting success criteria

Apply S.C. to suggest improvements
Then all apply to own work so far.

Experimental Model Students experience genuine uncertainty Students need to do the task to find out the answer Choose a skill to develop, e.g:
e.g What makes a good........Evaluation? e.g What makes a good........Conclusion? e.g What makes a good........Football Pass? e.g What makes a good........Web blog? e.g What makes a good........Sentence? e.g What makes a good........Evaluation?
Students carry out a series of tasks Design a class set of success criteria
Examples of skill posters
Peer assess to create checklist
How do the students benefit? Students can achieve. Appreciation that learning requires
the applications of specific skills. An understanidn that there are
various skills that have progression and need practising.
Used as AfL to know how to improve Real time improvements to work
