Featured Session:
Teacher Clarity Institute
with Dr. John Almarode
Students learn more when expectations are clear.
This Teacher Clarity 2-day professional learning workshop, facilitated by Dr. John Almarode, co-author of the Teacher Clarity Playbook, 2nd Edition, will unpack a process for designing instruction that invites students into the learning process. Working alongside peers, teachers will learn how to explicitly communicate to students what they will be learning on a given day, why they’re learning it, and how to know if they were successful.
Day 1: Participants will examine the relationship between teaching and learning by activating skills and knowledge around identifying concepts and skills, sequencing learning progressions, elaborating learning intentions, crafting success criteria, and designing assessment opportunities.
Day 2: Participants will gain a deeper level of understanding of Teacher Clarity as it connects to mastery infused with high-impact instruction. Day 2 is critical for providing a deep dive into assessing with Clarity that will move teams from the “knowing” phase to the “doing” phase and allow participants to reflect on the impact of their teaching.
