2. Clear Targets
Teachers select learning targets focused on the most important things students need to know and be able to do.
Students learn about achievement expectations from the beginning of the learning.
Students study models of strong and weak work.
3. Sound Design
Teachers choose assessment methods that match the intended learning targets.
4. Effective Communication
Teachers communicate timely and descriptive feedback to students, parents, colleagues, and other stakeholders.
5. Student Involvement
Teachers partner with students to continuously monitor current levels of attainment in relation to agreed-upon expectations so the students can set and evaluate learning goals.
