How to Activate and Accelerate Student Learning

Have you ever given instructions to your students, only to receive blank stares or confusion? Clarity is an essential part of teaching and learning, and every interaction we have with students is the foundation for moving learning forward—we must make every interaction count.

Backed by the latest education research on what really works, Teacher Clarity spotlights the newest and best teaching strategies and explains the importance of clear learning intentions, success criteria, lesson design, progress monitoring, and more. Inside, you’ll discover how teacher clarity

  • Helps educators make informed decisions around teaching and learning
  • Demands that educators keep the "big picture" in mind
  • Allows educators to integrate optimal teaching and learning experiences at the right time
  • Tells us what evidence we must generate around teaching and learning and what steps to take next

Organized around the four critical components of teacher clarity—organization, explanations, examples, and assessments—and filled with samples for all content and grade levels, Teacher Clarity is your essential guidebook for unlocking your learners’ potential.
