Over the last few years, there has been a bit of a push in schools to be creating and displaying a Learning Focus for each lesson. At my school, we are required to display our Learning Intentions and Success Criteria to match. This needs to be visible to the students and written in child-friendly language.
I can definitely see the benefit of this as not only does it enable teachers to stay on track, it also gives students an opportunity to self-assess and reflect on their own learning. The only problem is however, it can be a little time consuming creating these statements and then displaying them.
Initially, I started writing them on my whiteboard but then it would get in the way and I’d end up rubbing it off. Then I tried printing them out – which took time and wasted paper and ink.
I recently experimented with how to display Learning Intentions and Success Criteria and it has worked a treat!
