Clarity for Learning is an online asynchronous professional development course designed to empower teachers in enhancing clarity within their instructional practices. 

Participants will explore the construction of clear learning intentions and success criteria aligned with educational standards, enabling students to identify their learning goals, monitor progress, and determine next steps. Through in-depth discussions, case studies, and insights from leading educators, participants will understand the impact of clarity on teaching and learning. 

By the end of the course, teachers will gain practical strategies and a comprehensive understanding of how clarity serves as a foundation for other evidence-based practices, ultimately promoting student engagement, understanding, and achievement.

Participants are responsible for purchasing their own book - Clarity for Learning:  Five Essential Practices That Empower Students and Teachers by John Almarode - Amazon Link
