  • Influence Definition: Success criteria are the standards by which the project will be judged at the end to decide whether or not it has been successful. They are often brief, co-constructed with students, aim to remind students of those aspects on which they need to focus, and can relate to the surface (content, ideas) and deep (relations, transfer) learnings from the lesson(s). Success criteria should provide a clear answer to the question: How will I know that I have learned it? relating back to the learning intention of the lesson while addressing content, practices, and dispositions.
