Lots of great ideas for implementing success criteria. What kept me from 5 stars was there was a lot of repeat information from their other playbooks.

The authors have taken Success Criteria to the next level. Comprehensive and formatted well to work through the steps with a PLC.

This was a helpful overview of success criteria, but I got the feeling that it was rushed to publication. The social studies examples were very poor - they should have taken the time to find better ones. I also felt that the multi-step rubrics were not very well done. They looked like single point rubrics with qualifiers. Shouldn't they be stepping stones to stronger and stronger understanding? But they're not. Overall - a good start to understanding success criteria that got me thinking, but I think when you pay $26.00 for a PD book, it should be stronger.
