Welcome back to the Edu20/20 Podcast. This episode is all about success criteria and why it’s become one of the most misunderstood (and overcomplicated) things happening in classrooms right now.

After hundreds of classroom observations, we’ve seen it all:
• Success criteria turned into an agenda
• Success criteria that literally gives away the answer
• Success criteria used as a compliance checkbox
• And about five different definitions in the same building

So…what is it actually supposed to be?

We break down what works, what doesn’t, and how to use success criteria in a way that actually helps students instead of overwhelming teachers.

Chapters:
0:00 Why this topic is making us a little spicy
2:18 The biggest problem: no clear definition
5:08 Why success criteria can’t be one-size-fits-all
7:12 When it turns into compliance instead of support
10:02 What success criteria should actually be tied to
11:45 Using student work to build real clarity
14:20 What it looks like when it’s done well
15:44 The takeaway: don’t throw it out… fix it
