Persuasive Learning Wall | Success Criteria and Whole Unit Learning Intention Toolkit

If your students are unsure what they’re working towards — or how to improve — this toolkit is designed to make the entire unit visible, structured and purposeful from the very beginning.

This is more than a set of cards, or another classroom display. It’s a clarity system that helps you unpack the learning intention, co-construct success criteria and explicitly show students what quality work looks like.

Why this resource?

This first-of-its-kind resource is designed to do the heavy lifting for you — providing EDITABLE systems and structures upfront so you can focus on what matters most: co-constructing learning with your students.

It supports you to build clarity across the entire unit — not just the final task — making learning visible, purposeful and owned by your class.

What’s Included:

1. Whole Unit Learning Intention Tool
   Unpack and explicitly teach key words so students understand the purpose and direction of the unit from lesson one. This resource has a pre-made whole unit learning intention, or use the blank template to create your own.
2. Blank “I Can” Statement Cards
   Using your whole unit learning intention, co-construct success criteria with your students and make learning visible on your learning wall.
3. Success Criteria Checkpoint Card Display
   This resource can be used to support an exemplar display. Use these to unpack exemplars, guide feedback and support students to apply success criteria independently in their writing.
