Precision Teaching: Success Criteria and Exemplars

Students are learning how to write about the inferences they draw in relation
to the characters in the texts they are reading. They have collaboratively
created learning goals, success criteria and exemplars to guide their writing.
These learning tools are posted in the classroom for students to refer to
during their writing. Before they work on their individual writing, they will
have many opportunities to write with support from their peers and teacher.
• Exemplars are helpful in clarifying for students exactly what is expected
of them in their work. How would you encourage students to use the
exemplars during their writing as part of their self-assessment?
• How might you use exemplars in science or social studies?
• What caution might you need to consider when using exemplars with
students?
