Particularly when teaching Writing, I’ve seen a HUGE improvement in both my teaching and my students’ learning when utilising them. The best thing has been seeing my struggling writers become empowered and motivated through using success criteria. When students know what is expected of them, the mystery of what makes a great piece of writing is uncovered. They really do take ownership of their learning as they play an active role in self-monitoring and assessing their own writng. So let’s make learning as clear as possible for all of our students and set them up for success every Writing lesson. Are you on board?
