I think for students, success is what is defined to them by their parents or teachers. If set as a goal that getting good grades is success then that is what becomes success for the student. The perview of the world for students is through the eyes of the parents , teachers and peer group and hence success is drawn int he same parameter. The defination of success changes only when the students starts making his own parameter when he is more of a informed citizen and starts making his own decisions and has a wishful understanding of how world functions , then probaly the defination of success even through influenced byt he society can also be self drawn base don inspiration or self need and the will to achive what the individual desires the most !

The first step is to develop an ongoing discussion around the definition of success. This is not an overnight process—a school must have a language of success and some indicators of what success means. If success means that students are responsible, what does this look like? It could be that the school measures and tracks the number of missing assignments each student has. This type of measurement is much different than a grade or attendance record since it takes time to develop in order to get it right. Different schools will have different definitions of what success means, so it can take multiple conversations to get all stakeholders moving in the right direction and speaking the same language.
