⁦This from one of my all time favourite chapters titled How can we show students what success looks like? in @HFletcherWood⁩’s book Responsive Teaching ⁦ @daisychristo⁩

Sharing a sense of how to create success is challenging, examples are critical. Demonstrating what success looks like helps all students, especially low attainers. Knowing what success looks like promotes metacognition and motivation. @HFletcherWood⁩’s book Responsive Teaching

'Teachers need to share visions of success. These mental representations make it possible to monitor how one is doing, both in practice & in actual performance. They show the right way to do something & allow one to notice when doing something wrong & to correct it.'

'Overcoming ambiguity by showing what success looks like seems to particularly benefit lower attaining students. Sharing what success looks like has great promise for the students who most need our help.'

Ideally exemplars should be examined by the student alongside an expert, so that students learn how to use these examples to improve their own work. Ron Berger describes how examples ‘set the standards for what I and my students aspire to achieve.’
