John Hattie explains the importance of sharing learning intentions. You could try several different ways to share and even co-construct success criteria with students for maximum impact: 1. Show a finished product, so that they can see what a good one looks like 3. Show health and safety information Please be aware that resources have been published on the website in the form that they were originally supplied. A learning intention should explicitly describe what students will know, understand and be able to do as a result of teaching, says educator Anita L.
Archer, Ph. She adds that learning intentions are focused on what the students are learning not the activity are written in student-friendly language and revisited throughout the lesson. Learning intentions that achieve the SMART criteria, are specific, measurable and actionable are the most successful. There are many creative ways to define and explain learning intentions to students. Although these will vary by subject and grade level, looking at successful examples can inspire your own learning intentions.
Teacher Meghan Everette suggests planning multiple learning intentions at the same time to help see the arc of learning over a longer period. This ensures that students are meeting standards while also learning everything you intend them to in a sequential order that makes sense.
Teacher Genia Connell explains how a concept called math talk helps foster meaningful discussion around math problems to reinforce learning intentions. For example, she started by asking and modeling open-ended questions. Then, using student suggestions, Connell created a math talk sheet with a list of questions helping students think, discuss and work on projects in a new way that fostered learning intentions. This was posted in an area that everyone could see every day. The way you use verbs can also play a role in the effectiveness of a learning objective, explains school district superintendent Michael McDowell, Ed.
Specifically, he suggests referring to a list of verbs to use at each level of learning surface, deep, transfer. Teachers will spend time at the beginning of a unit of learning to help students understand where they are heading. Sometimes students want to skim over this- dismiss it as unnecessary information. Without a clear understanding of learning goals students will not be able to learn well and will not be able to find learning meaningful.
In Secondary School, goals for learning are embedded in each assignment task sheet and on Canvas. They are discussed in class. In Primary, the intentions of learning are explicitly taught and made visible in classrooms.
