= Sharing Learning Intensions = by Shirley Clarke

Please add your thoughts, questions and ideas from the article. Karen's thoughts: -I like the idea of a chart with speech bubbles. I will make one for next term -I would think we would quite often have one learning intention and different success criteria for our multi level classrooms. - I like the idea of children writing their own success criteria. - I like the idea of a timetime showing learning intentions instead of what they are doing. i will try using this. - Our planning needs to reflect and include learning intentions and success criteria. To do this well we need a planning format that includes this. If we are still looking at school master this would need to be included in this. - It says to start in one area at a time and then progress to other subject area. However I feel the students will expect it it all areas and if not wonder why. I hope we can keep up with their expectations.

Megan's Thoughts ... I also think we can try it in more than one area - but I think we need to concentrate on one learning area first and get it right completely before really getting into it in others - if we try to do it all it will be too big to do well. - we need to look at what we need to have in our planning (at long/short and unit levels) to make sure we are not leaving gaps - and to make the planning process more manageable
