Many teachers use the starts and ends of lessons to clarify learning goals and success criteria so that it becomes an instructional routine, though it doesn't have to be just these two time periods.
Learning goals are what students are supposed to learn and should be based on state content standards and curriculum scope and sequences. Learning goals answer the question for students: Where am I going?
Success criteria describe what meeting the learning goal for a lesson or a broader unit of instruction would look like. Success criteria answer the question for students: How will I know if I have arrived?
