Learning Intentions Overview


This module we build on the unpacking work in the previous modules. Now that we have our concepts and skills and our learning progressions. We now need to break that down into lesson-sized chunks that we can share with students in daily statements of learning. Each statement shows what a student is expected to learn in a given lesson and will ultimately connect to success criteria in the next module.

Learning intentions should be in student-friendly language that is developmentally appropriate for your grade level so you can communicate these intentions/goals with your students effectively. Learning intentions shouldn't just be referenced at the beginning of a lesson, but revisited throughout the lesson as well.
