Why Learning for Impact?
Why Learning for Impact?
Why not? It is an important goal of education. But what makes this a (slightly) different vision from others is the focus. Learning for Impact focuses on teaching integrative and creative thinking processes, which are essential for solving complex problems. When problem solving skill is broken down into specific thinking processes, designing learning tasks to target and scaffold their development and mastery become much more easier to do. And designed learning tasks that are problem-based and/or inquiry-based have strong connections to supporting these thinking processes.
The PowerPoint presentation on the far right proposes how this model can be extended to other subject areas beyond science to make learning more holistic.

How to Create Learning Goals & Success Criteria?
When backward designing your learning plans, be mindful that students need to know what they need to learn. Therefore, Learning Goals should be communicated to students at the start of learning. Teacher can deconstruct Ministry expectations with students and co-reconstruct them into learning goals, which are more student-friendly, so they may understand their learning goals better. [Refer to slides 4-6 in the presentation on the right)]
Additionally, Success Criteria which let students know whether they have achieved the learning or not are required also at the start of learning.
How to Design Learning Goals-based Authentic Assessments.pdfOnce the Learning Goals and Success Criteria have been constructed and agreed upon, they can then be organized in a table for both learners and parents or guardians to use as learning reference.
Success Criteria can be measured as shown.
Unit Learning Goals template.pdfLGs Success Criteria template.pdfWhile every learning goal should be assessed using all eight success criteria suggested, learning tasks may or may not use all eight success criteria for assessment depending on the focus of the instruction. There may be more than one learning tasks per learning goal. The success criteria can be further be broken down to specific look for to have the learning content and skills specific to the learning goal. This will also provide students with clearer expectations and focus when they are learning.
