1 Clarifying the Intended Learning

Are there other approaches that you use?

Here are some examples that may prompt your thinking.

Success criteria are co-created, as appropriate, and communicated in student-friendly language to clarify quality and expectations of work.

Co-creating Success Criteria

Students are asked to decide together what the quality and expectations of the work might be.

So what does this look like in the MFL classroom?

Sharing and Clarifying Success Criteria

In order to identify what learning is taking place, students engage in a think-pair-share activity based on the success criteria.

Students Review Learning Intentions

Students review learning intentions at the most suitable stage in the lesson.

Sharing Learning Intentions

Learning intentions are shared with students based on intended learning within selected learning outcomes.

• Do students know what learning intentions are?
• Do I discuss learning intentions with students?
• Why do I discuss learning intentions?

• How does sharing learning intentions impact upon and guide learning?
• Do I involve students in co-creating success criteria?

• How do I scaffold opportunities for students to assess their work against agreed criteria?

Now what?

Learning intentions provide clarity for students in developing learning. They are simple, clear and aligned to the learning outcomes.
