Today’s Learning Outcome

By the end of this workshop you should be able to…

Understand the relationship between Learning Outcomes and Success Criteria

Learning Outcomes

• What are they?

• When/how can we use them?

Definition:Simple, specific statements which should derive from programmes of study.

What teachers want pupils to have learned or be able to do by the end of a lesson or series of lessons.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes – Task 1

Learning Outcomes – Task 1

Learning Outcomes – Task 1

SCIENCE

Pupils will…

• understand what melting is

Task 2

• Write down three Learning Outcomes for your own subject, which fit this definition.

Creating Success Criteria

What is it pupils need to do to achieve the Learning Outcome?

What skills or points do I have to teach so that pupils will achieve the Learning Outcome?

What criteria could I use to measure how successful a pupil has been in achieving a Learning Outcome?

SUCCESS CRITERIA

Definition: Success Criteria are

statements of standards from which success in an activity can be measured.

Success Criteria are summary statements which illustrate exactly what it is that pupils must know/be able to do to achieve Learning Outcome.

Learning Outcome + Possible Success Criteria

SCIENCESLO – Pupils will understand what melting

is.

Possible Success Criteria:Pupils can describe melting, making the

following points:• Melting involves solids turning into

liquids.• The particles in the solid move further

apart.• Heat is required for melting to happen.• Different solids melt at different

temperatures.

Learning Outcome + Possible Success Criteria

PELO - Pupils will be able to swim front

crawl with an efficient leg kick

Possible Success Criteria• Legs will be straight and toes pointed• Legs will reach a depth of

approximately 18 inches and will only create a bubble at the surface.

• Legs will pass close together.• Body position will be flat and will not

rotate.

Task 3

Choosing one of your own Learning Outcomes and using your definition of Success Criteria, write down the possible Success Criteria you could use to measure pupil success.
