Having teacher clarity not only helps the teachers to have a direction of the LI, SC, and the learning ladders but helps the students have clarity of what mastery looks like at every level.  From our classroom visit, I learned first hand how feedback is crucial to teacher clarity.  It was really good to have that interaction with the students.  To hear what  worked for them can only help teachers have a better grasp of clarity.  Having good feedback from students and teacher clarity has a very huge impact on equity.

Teachers struggle with engaging students on a daily basis. We are constantly asking, "how can I keep everyone on task and interested in the class?" On the flip side, students ask on a daily basis, "Why do I have to learn this? What are we doing today?" The inability to answer these questions causes many students to fall short of mastery.

Teacher Clarity provides the answer to BOTH of these situations. As teachers provide Learning Intentions, Success Criteria, and Learning Progressions (ladder), students will be able to buy into each lesson. They understand EXACTLY "what" they will be doing that day, and "why" they have to learn the content. As they gain the clarity, they will also gain focus in the classroom. The end result will be engaged students taking ownership and accountability for their education which leads to mastery for all students.

When students know where they are going and their goals are the same as the teachers, the students have a better understanding of what they should be learning and if they are being successful or not. When all students have a clear path for their journey, they can all successfully reach the end destination even if some of them have to take different routes to get there. Student voice is extremely important. It allows teachers to assess where students are as well as how the teacher is doing, what needs to be changed, etc. I think we all saw how important student voice is today when we visited Ms. Johnson's classroom. -AB

By improving teacher clarity, students are able to self asses and identify their own needs. When students understand their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to a standard, they are able to provide useful feedback to the instructor. Such feedback is essential to providing individualized assistance and differentiated instruction.

If teachers are able to break down and clarify each learning progression and success criteria each student will be able to actively learn and truly master each step. This gives each student the opportunity and resources (steps) to reach each learning goal.

Teacher clarity and charting ladders to develop an upward progression of understanding plans or schedules are the blocks that boost up everybody to a form of success.

I think teacher clarity has a very big impact to the equity in the classroom.  The students and teacher will know exactly what is going on in the classroom everyday and will become responsible for their own success.  The teachers will also know which students are still struggling with the concepts and be able to address it until EVERYONE gets it and no one is left behind!!!

If the students have a voice in how they learn and understand the progression toward mastery, the learning will become more rewarding.  The students can see by looking at the ladders what they need to master--step by step-- and eventually can incorporate it into real world problems.  Using the ladders and progressions with our SC and LI helps the student be more comfortable in the classroom.  I am just happy that we are using the student's feedback to generate what we are doing in the classroom.

Teacher clarity can make a major impact on our student's success. Allowing the students to understand what they are learning, how they are learning it, and where it is leading our students. We are trying to move all the kids in the right direction and become active learners. I felt that the student's voice was a huge impact on my understanding of success criteria and learning goals.

I have acquired a deeper and more profound understanding of using the visible learning ladder by observing Mrs. Johnson's classes and listening to the insights of her students about this model and how it has improved their learning.

Equal Treatment vs Equal Opportunity vs Equal Outcome

# data[].attributes.body
Equal treatment is not always the same as equal opportunity equally. Sometimes a student needs additional assistance to make up for holes in their understanding. Other students may be capable of achieving their goals with virtually no assistance at all. A third situation comes to mind, however. Equal treatment and equal opportunity is shown, but some may be tempted to enforce equal outcome rather than equal opportunity. This, in my opinion, is not possible. Assistance should be used to give a boost to students to are struggling to succeed. It should not be a prop for students wish to sit on the sidelines.
