Help elementary school students engage in the learning process and
achieve their goals in the classroom with the effective and proven
principles of teacher clarity.
Clear communication between students and teachers is crucial for
effective learning. When students understand the why and how of learning
(aka "teacher clarity"), it's so much easier for them to fully
comprehend and engage with the material. But it can be hard to ensure
good communication while also juggling curriculums, state standards,
grading, and the other elements of teaching in an elementary school
classroom. That's where Getting Started with Teacher Clarity comes in.
This friendly, all-in-one guide breaks down the basic elements of
teacher clarity, gives advice on how to incorporate those elements into
the school day, and even provides classroom-ready activities for busy
teachers to implement right away.
This book not only explains the importance of the shared learning
progressions between the student and the teacher, but also offers
effective teaching practices for classroom settings, including:
- Deconstructing state standards to develop learning intentions and
objectives
- Developing success criteria to support new learning
- Building student awareness through structured language talk
- Embedding self-assessment checks for students to assess their levels
of understanding throughout a lesson
- And much more!
Through the research-based methods of teacher clarity, educators will
understand the importance of partnership between students and teachers,
which in turn fosters improved student success.
