CLARITY Learning Suite

The online Professional Learning within the CLARITY Learning Suite is based on Lyn Sharratt’s text “CLARITY - What matters MOST in Learning, Teaching and Leading”. The focus is on building teacher and leader capacity to increase student achievement and growth in an ongoing, sustainable way. The CLARITY Learning Suite (CLS): Begins with and continually returns to its foundation: Parameter #1: Shared Beliefs and Understandings – all children can learn, all teachers can teach – given time and the right support; high expectations and early and ongoing intervention are critical; and leaders, teachers and leaders can clearly articulate why they lead, teach, and learn the way they do; Ensures the focus is on students’ learning through evidence-proven assessment and instructional approaches. Parameters 3 and 13; Engages learners, teachers and leaders in reflection and data-wise decision-making to put FACES on data and take action (Parameter #6); Provides a scaffolded model of Professional Learning for participants to collaborate and learn together with a nominated ‘Learning Leader’. The CLS notion of ‘Learning Leaders’ is a key feature to build and ensure sustainable leading and learning; Focuses on a culture of learning to create shared responsibility and accountability for students’ growth, attainment and wellbeing (Parameter #1#4 #6 #14); Enables participants to work through the CLARITY text on Learning, Teaching and Leading in 12 Modules, each Module having several Sessions. Sessions take approximately 60 minutes to complete and 30 minutes for follow-up personalised learning. Affords educators the opportunity for ongoing Professional Learning within-in groups, across-groups and individually; CLS maximises opportunities for those in small, remote or isolated communities to be involved in collaborative Professional Learning 24/7;
