Teacher-only planning companion for Manu Success Criteria Tracker. Use this page to make progress visible across the unit rather than relying on end-point impressions only.
This page is for kaiako. The tracker works best when it is revisited during the unit and paired with evidence. That allows students to notice progress and set next steps with more honesty.
A mātauranga Māori lens matters because progress can include collective contribution, care for place, and relational growth as well as individual task completion.
Goal-setting language can be used to express intentions and plan learning.
The tracker asks learners to identify what they can already do and what they need to work on next. That makes goal-setting part of the learning process, not an added slogan.
This is strongest when students are expected to justify their self-assessment with evidence.
Reflective language helps students explain what went well, what was difficult, and what could be improved.
Return to the tracker after each major task so students can rehearse reflective language little and often rather than facing it all at the end.
Especially useful for mixed-readiness classes because reflection can be oral, visual, or written.
Students participate in local inquiry and action with growing responsibility over time.
Use the tracker to monitor more than knowledge recall. Prompt students to notice how their role in the inquiry and action changed as the unit progressed.
Useful as a bridge into final reflection or reporting.
