Things to think about
- Our planning ensures that we are clear about our learning intentions and appropriate experiences for achieving these.
- We share our learning objectives on a regular basis with parents and carers.
- We discuss with pupils what they are expected to learn by sharing learning intentions.
- We share success criteria with pupils to help them know when they have achieved a learning intention.
- We help pupils to understand success criteria by sharing examples of work which either meet or don't meet our agreed expectations or standards.
Questions to ask
- To what extent do our teaching plans indicate what pupils are expected to learn, the experiences they will be offered and how they will know if they are successful?
- To what extent do we encourage parents to support their child’s learning by sharing broad learning objectives and success criteria with them?
- To what extent do we share learning intentions and success criteria effectively, using clear language and examples of existing work and displaying them in a way that helps pupils to stay focused on their learning as they work?
- To what extent do pupils fully understand the learning intentions and how to achieve them?
