Students are moving on nicely with their Personal Project. They have defined their goals and have done a lot of research. They are now using that research to create their Success Criteria. Although students do this in their MYP Design class, some still struggle - this means I do a Grade Level Assembly session about this, followed up by a class activity with their advisors.
Their criteria comes up three times in the assessment (though actually they could talk about it in other sections of the report too):
Here is a link to the Grade Level Assembly presentation.
In their advisory they do a fun session where they create the success criteria for a birthday party! Students create all sorts of wonderful events (I think one group has the grade flying to Hawaii for a party!). Here is the presentation for this.
Please let me know what activities you do and guidance you give to help students create their criteria for their product or outcome - I'm always looking for new ways to support students with this.

When doing activities for our personal improvement, we should always look at why we do it. In my opinion, practicing things without putting much thought into it is not very efficient. We should not forget that we have a very limited time only, which is why we should make proper use of it. Practicing activities that we only need should be of the utmost important. We do not have to learn how to learn to ride a bike when we do not even own one.

Hi Lenny! I told our teachers that 4-5 criteria and they create a 0-8 achievement level rubric for their success criteria. Does IB require more?

there is no formal requirement. Criteria should be based on research. If they do design, then they have been learning to do criteria/specifications for 5 years, in much more detail then 4-5, so they may choose to do that.

Thank you so so much. Could I use the criteria templates to guide the student I am supervising?
