Key Takeaway: Focus needs to be on What are they supposed to learn, not what are they supposed to do.

Erin Askew

2025-10-07 15:03:43 UTC

Key takeaway: Students learn more effectively when they clearly understand what success looks like.

Brandi Henson

2025-10-07 15:03:47 UTC

"If you have a clear understanding, before you start, of an understanding of what success looks like, you're more likely to get rid of the stuff that doesn't matter." John Hattie

AnnaBeth Baumgartner

2025-10-07 15:03:49 UTC

Key Takeaway: Most kids know 60% of what is taught in each lesson.

Daniel Smith

2025-10-07 15:03:55 UTC

It is so important for students to know what success looks like BEFORE they achieve it, so that they can visualize the end goal, not checking the box for the day's task.

Leah Pesaresi

2025-10-07 15:04:09 UTC

Question: How can we show students the end product in math classrooms in order to allow them to focus on the process instead of the answer.

Lacy Britt

2025-10-07 15:04:10 UTC

Key Takeaway: Make sure to demonstrate and show the students what success looks like for the lesson. What does an A look like? B look like? etc. Give them a target.

Tessa Dean

2025-10-07 15:04:23 UTC

Key takeaways: Success Criteria is what they're supposed to learn, not what they're supposed to do. For self regulation/evaluation they have to have a target up front. Show them what an A looks like. For math, they can use many resources to give them the answer, but I've found that if I go ahead and take the desire to just look up the answer away and give them the answers to the practice problems up front, the real learning of trying to figure out the strategies to get the answers begins.

Erin Askew

2025-10-07 15:04:36 UTC

Lingering Question: How can we help students move beyond simply restating the success criteria to actually using them as tools for reflection, self-assessment, and goal setting in their own learning?

Joscelyn N. Taylor

2025-10-07 15:04:43 UTC

One key takeaway from this video is when John Hattie states that if the facilitator of the learning knows and has identified beforehand what success in the lesson should look like, they would remove all components of the lesson that do not lead scholars to success.

Sebrina Winningham

2025-10-07 15:04:57 UTC

Students are good at being compliant to what the teacher wants, but true learning comes when the student has a clear understanding about what success looks like well before they attempt a task. Learning is not just about a task.

Amy Sutterfield

2025-10-07 15:05:02 UTC

Key Takeaway from Video: Find out what students know in the beginning. Focus on what students are supposed to learn rather than do. Give them the success criteria, show them what success looks like.

Daniel Smith

2025-10-07 15:05:03 UTC

I still am unsure how to instill student ownership for the student that does not buy in to the task at hand, or the importance of it. This problem is compounded in course I teach that are 40-50 in size, and I get very little 1-on-1 interaction.

AnnaBeth Baumgartner

2025-10-07 15:05:07 UTC

Lingering Question: How can I get students to want to know the "why" or the process for getting the answer?

Sydney Howard

2025-10-07 15:05:24 UTC

Key Takeaway:
Teachers should allow students to see what success looks like in an activity. This builds confidence, and it helps teachers to be more intentional in planning.

Tracy Jones

2025-10-07 15:05:28 UTC

Clarity is essential for students to take ownership of their learning.

Nikki Bradshaw

2025-10-07 15:05:33 UTC

Key Takeaway: Students AND teachers need to know what success looks like before they start, so that they know what the end goal is and are taking ownership of their learning.

Tracy Fortune

2025-10-07 15:06:08 UTC

During this video, my Key Takeaway was that students learn when the know what their success criteria is and what they have to understand what it looks like. What they need to do.

Nikki Bradshaw

2025-10-07 15:06:11 UTC

Question: How do you get students to the point of being accountable for and taking ownership of what success of a skill looks like?

Lacy Britt

2025-10-07 15:06:19 UTC

How might success criteria shift from being a checklist for compliance to a tool for self-reflection and growth?

Melissa Scott

2025-10-07 15:06:25 UTC

-Learn, not do

-Not about the task

-Show the students what success looks like

April Sartin

2025-10-07 15:06:28 UTC

Key Takeaway: Its not about the task but about what they need to know. Show students what success looks like from the beginning to know what they are working towards. Success is found in what they should know by the end.

Tracy Jones

2025-10-07 15:06:36 UTC

Lingering question: How can I help my students really use the learning goal and success criteria as they work?

Amy Sutterfield

2025-10-07 15:06:47 UTC

Lingering Question:

How do you motivate the students that do NOT care about the success criteria, or anything else?

Katie Polk

2025-10-07 15:07:16 UTC

Key Takeaways: We need to focus on what are they supposed to learn, not what are they supposed to do. We also need to start with the success criteria so that learning doesn't look random. Then we can get rid of the stuff that doesn't matter.

Tessa Dean

2025-10-07 15:07:18 UTC

Lingering Question: How can we show them success criteria without taking some of the discovery pieces of the process away?

Tracy Fortune

2025-10-07 15:07:22 UTC

Question: How do we get the students to move from just the normal and into showing success with success in the classrooms? Seeing the end goal and not working for success for that lesson.

Dana Daniel

ddaniel54 — 2025-10-07 15:07:26 UTC

Expose Success! I like that!

Brittany Brazil

2025-10-07 15:07:45 UTC

Key Takeaway: If You know exactly what you are teaching, you can strip away the extra fluff and focus on what really matters- showing students the success criteria. This helps them understand what they need to achieve, not just what they are doing.

Joscelyn N. Taylor

2025-10-07 15:08:06 UTC

Due to time constraints in the classroom, does modeling just a portion of the lesson serve as "showing what success looks like" count?

As an ELA teacher with only 60 minutes of class time, I would not be able to go through a lesson fully, show the scholars the end goal, allow them to practice during the lesson, let them complete the task individually, and then pull small groups.

Ruth Taylor

2025-10-07 15:08:08 UTC

Key Takeaway: Show students what success looks like. Show them what an A, B, C looks like on paper.

Shawn Dale

2025-10-07 15:08:09 UTC

Key Takeaway--Clear, detailed and measurable success criteria help students understand exactly what they are aiming to achieve in their learning.

When kids are engaged their motivation tends to increase and they develop self initiated goals.

wendy

2025-10-07 15:09:02 UTC

Learning intentions and success criteria go hand in hand. Don't just give an assignment for them to do but have students in the mindset what can I learn from today that will stick with me. Preface a lesson with what success would look like and that may be different for different student groups and different subject areas.

Dana Daniel

ddaniel54 — 2025-10-07 15:09:40 UTC

Lingering question: How do I self evaluate and then have my students do the same?

Becky Horne

2025-10-07 15:09:59 UTC

I love this approach. Showing students what their work needs to look like to get an A. A B. A C. This approach would help my little learners SO MUCH!

Sydney Howard

2025-10-07 15:10:11 UTC

Lingering Question: Do we need to show the end result for every major learning need? Can this be broken down like our math assessment in how it tested several standards at once?

Laci Williams

2025-10-07 15:10:11 UTC

Key Takeaway: Show the students what success looks like first. Show them what you are wanting them to learn and how to get there.

Amy Polk

2025-10-07 15:10:12 UTC

Key Takeaway: Focus should be on what you want students to learn, not just the task they are being asked to do. Students need to know that the success criteria looks like upfront.

Tiffany Brown

2025-10-07 15:10:20 UTC

Key Takeaway:

Student learning will be more successful if we show them what that success looks like from the beginning.

Brittany Brazil

2025-10-07 15:10:42 UTC

Question- How can we support and empower our staff to motivate and engage students in reaching the goals outlined in the success criteria?

Jake Weaver

2025-10-07 15:11:03 UTC

Key Takeaway: It is important to understand what success looks like before you learn how to achieve it. Knowing where you want to be makes the work to get there more important.

Katie Polk

2025-10-07 15:11:13 UTC

Lingering Question: Would this need to be whole group? I am wondering if it would confuse my lower leveled students whose success criteria may look different from others?

Christina Schluterman

2025-10-07 15:11:30 UTC

Key Takeaway: Success is no secret, let students know what being successful looks like for the particular skill.

Megan McGee

2025-10-07 15:11:47 UTC

Key Takeaways:

The focus of each lesson should be on what students are supposed to learn not what they are supposed to do. To lead students in success criteria it is important to show them what the end product/success should look like. In determining what success should look like, it is important to understand what students already know and what they don't know.

Sarah Lucy

2025-10-07 15:12:07 UTC

Key Takeaway: I loved that he said that students learn better and want to learn when they already know what success looks like. This helps them gain confidence!

Hope Bruner

2025-10-07 15:12:11 UTC

Key Takeaway: Show them what success looks like up front! "If you, teacher, has a clear understanding of what success looks like you're more likely to get rid of what doesn't matter."

Wendy McCoy

2025-10-07 15:12:23 UTC

Trying to come up with ways for students to have ownership can be challenging especially with low motivated students. What are some creative ways and some resources to help develop the "ownership" mindset in a student.

Randi Perkins

2025-10-07 15:12:37 UTC

Key Takeaway: Learning intentions without success criteria (what students are supposed to learn-not do) is hopeless.

Tiffany Brown

2025-10-07 15:13:00 UTC

Lingering Question:

How do I balance using the goal/objective and success criteria upfront to get good learning results.

Jake Weaver

2025-10-07 15:13:09 UTC

Question: What is the best way to get students to buy into the process of reaching success?

Tammy Jackson

2025-10-07 15:13:17 UTC

When students know exactly what is expected of them , they are more likely to reach learning goals.

Ruth Taylor

2025-10-07 15:13:19 UTC

Lingering Question: How do we assure that every student has the knowledge or the want to of self-monitoring when shown what success looks like?

Laci Williams

2025-10-07 15:13:42 UTC

Lingering Question: How do we motivate students so that they want to engage to achieve success?

Yvette Green

2025-10-07 15:14:12 UTC

Key takeaway: "Show them" what success looks like. "Show them" what learning looks like.

Megan McGee

2025-10-07 15:16:24 UTC

Question: What are some strategies for motivating students to want to achieve the highest level of success criteria and not just settle for the bare minimum?

Randi Perkins

2025-10-07 15:19:02 UTC

Lingering Question: He said teachers are going to have to get more creative about thinking about different ways of understanding if students "have it" or not. What does that look like?

Christina Schluterman

2025-10-07 15:19:08 UTC

Lingering question: How does a teacher /leader make sure to show students the expectations for being successful while still allowing the student to reach that success. ( Trying hard to break the habitat of doing for others and instead giving them a chance to own the learning)

Yvette Green

2025-10-07 15:19:13 UTC

Lingering Question: How do we determine, as John Hattie questions, "Do they understand, or is it just 'parroting'?"

Dean'Na Haines

2025-10-07 15:24:59 UTC

A key takeaway from the video is how beneficial it is for students and teachers to know and understand the success criteria. It helps you recognize any unnecessary "fluff" that does not need to be there. Students are also more likely to take control of their learning because they know what the end goal or expectation is.

Jennifer Broniste

2025-10-07 15:25:51 UTC

Key Takeaway: Students will be able to focus on the learning when they understand the success criteria from the beginning.

Jennifer Broniste

2025-10-07 15:28:31 UTC

Lingering Question: How do you know if they are just "parroting" the end result?

Dean'Na Haines

2025-10-07 15:36:18 UTC

Question: How do we break the cycle of "learned helplessness" we are seeing in so many students? I believe this is partially inhibiting students from reaching their full potential and owning their learning.

Barbara Graham

2025-10-07 15:39:18 UTC

Key takeaway: The best way to show students what success criteria is, is to show them what it looks like before they start.

Barbara Graham

2025-10-07 15:41:27 UTC

Question: How can we motivate students to self-reflect and self-monitor once they have been shown what success looks like?

Hilary Mullins

2025-10-07 15:45:48 UTC

Key takeaway: Students should be given the exemplar.

Question: How does this work for all subjects like Math for example?

Stephanie Greer

2025-10-07 15:49:34 UTC

Takeaway: Without success criteria, learning looks random. "A lot of teachers struggle with that..." because it's what success looks like when you get to the end. It's me. I'm a lot of teachers.

Stephanie Greer

2025-10-07 15:50:48 UTC

Lingering question: How do I make this happen in my classroom? I always get overwhelmed with developing success criteria for the day. I'm terrible about not trying to eat the ENTIRE elephant in one bite.

Amy Polk

2025-10-07 15:51:10 UTC

Lingering Question: Success criteria will look different for different students in your class. How do we model/show that to students? Especially younger students in a way that they can understand.

Rene Shibley

2025-10-07 15:53:46 UTC

Key Takeaway: We have to find out and work with students on what they know and what we are wanting them to know. Help them to understand what success they are striving for.

Mica Rose

2025-10-07 16:10:46 UTC

ey Takeaway: The teacher has to have a clear understanding of what success looks like and provide exemplars of what success looks like so students will know what is expected.

Carolanne Pinegar

2025-10-07 16:12:06 UTC

Key Takeaway - clarity of learning intentions and success criteria empowers students to become self-regulated learners, which is one of the most powerful influences on achievement according to Hattie’s research.

Mica Rose

2025-10-07 16:12:40 UTC

Question: Does showing them the end result decrease their struggle in the learning and developing those pathways.

Carolanne Pinegar

2025-10-07 16:13:28 UTC

Lingering Question- How can teachers balance giving students ownership of their learning with ensuring that the success criteria still align with curriculum standards and learning goals?

Sandra Cooper

2025-10-07 16:14:55 UTC

Understanding what success looks like allows for student-driven reflection througout the learning process. They KNOW whether or not they have learned it even before you do.

Sandra Cooper

2025-10-07 16:16:05 UTC

Lingering Question- How do we balance letting them own their learning with maintaining rigor?

Jacqueline Melendez

2025-10-07 16:26:41 UTC

Key Takeaway: Learning shouldn't be a mystery. Teachers often treat success as something revealed only at the end of a unit or task. Hattie argues that students must see what success looks like upfront. Otherwise, they're "playing a game without knowing the rules."

Jacqueline Melendez

2025-10-07 16:30:22 UTC

Lingering Question: How can we make success visible enough that every student, regardless of ability, knows what they're aiming for and how to get there?

Rachel Thurman

2025-10-07 16:38:11 UTC

Key Takeaway: If we want students to SELF-regulate, monitor, assess, etc., we must give them a TARGET! Not providing success criteria up front is like trying to play a game without knowing the rules, equipment, etc.

TammyJackson

2025-10-07 16:43:44 UTC

Question

What are some good strategies for motivating students to want to achieve mastery and not settle for proficient?

Rachel Thurman

2025-10-07 16:46:39 UTC

Lingering Question: how to balance frontloading success criteria while providing opportunities for productive struggle, inquiry, discovery, etc. & allow/provide options for demonstrating mastering ("The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see")
