Learning Intention and Success Criteria Display - Cutesy Theme

Help your students understand the “what,” “why,” and “how” of every lesson with the Cutesy Classroom Learning Intentions and Success Criteria! Learning intentions describe what students need to know, understand, or be able to do as a result of a lesson, helping them focus on the purpose of their learning rather than just the tasks at hand. Success criteria, closely linked to the learning intention, outline the specific features of high-quality work and allow students to assess their progress. For example, a learning intention or objective might be, “We are learning to identify the main idea in a text,” with success criteria such as, “I can highlight the main idea in each paragraph and provide supporting details.” These tools make expectations transparent, enhance engagement, and empower students to take ownership of their learning.

Part of the bright and colorful Cutesy Classroom Collection, this resource is a versatile addition to your teaching toolkit. Use it for daily lessons, bulletin board displays, or anchor charts to communicate objectives effectively in subjects like Math, English, or Science.
