Applying Effective Success Criteria to Improve Pupil Outcomes

Stop Telling Pupils What to Do. Teach Them How to Succeed.

Turn abstract learning objectives into clear, actionable steps. Master the art of co-constructing success criteria to build independent, self-reflective learners.  

"I've finished! Is this right?"

How many times a day do you hear this? You write a clear learning objective on the board, but your pupils still look at a blank page unsure of how to actually achieve it.

When pupils don't know what "good" looks like, they rely entirely on you for validation, creating a backlog for your attention and leaving you with a mountain of preventable marking.

What you’ll master:
  • The Shift to Independence: Transition from teacher-dictated lists to pupil-generated criteria that drive ownership.  
  • Positive Modelling: How to explicitly demonstrate success criteria in action so every pupil understands the expectations.
  • Precision Feedback: Utilise success criteria as a powerful tool for impactful peer-assessment, self-reflection, and streamlined teacher feedback.  
By enrolling in this online course, you will receive:
  • Access to flexible online lessons – learn at your own pace, anytime, anywhere
  • Certificate upon completion of the training – validate your expertise
