Level Ladders
Display clear ladders in the classroom for students to work towards.
@LauraLolder created some bunting for her students so they could measure their progress against it each week.
Success Criteria
Create a definition for your students of what 'expert', 'advanced', 'proficient' and 'basic' look like for their course, task or unit.
Write it or present it in a student friendly way and your students are sure to engage.
A bit of competition goes a long way so why not get students to initial it each lesson to show where they think they are with that skill or knowledge?
