"This playbook is broken into 9 Modules to guide teacher learning through a modified version of gradual release of responsibility. Each module begins with an explanation of core concepts, then models how the process is applied through four examples. It is followed by Guided Practice; the content and grade levels here vary across modules. The guided practice section is designed for you to write on and discuss with your team, if possible. We have suggested answers in the back of the book to help you, but they should not be interpreted too narrowly as the only correct response. Each module ends with a section called Independent Practice, where you can apply the same process to a grade level and subject area you have selected. Although it is independent learning, we hope you will be able to continue discussion with colleagues"--

"The new videos for each module on the Think Alouds give teachers an explanation of how practitioners are using a specific component of teacher clarity in a comprehensible way. It is a game changer when teachers discover the best hidden secret to learning (success criteria). By adding the seven different ways of sharing what success looks like with learners, Module 4 becomes even more powerful as teachers realize the different opportunities they have to reach and empower students." -- Chasity Gray "Just like Teacher Clarity demystifies how to be successful teachers and learners, the authors of this practical playbook demystify Teacher Clarity for their readers. Its a must-read, must-practice book used by all educators across our school district. Its not another thing; its the thing for targeted, successful teaching and learning!" -- Dr. Angela Lyon Hinton "This playbook equips educators with a wealth of strategies, examples, and practical tools to amplify their impact on student learning. These resources empower educators to cultivate a learning environment where students are actively engaged, while also helping teachers develop a profound understanding of their expectations, thereby enhancing the overall learning experience." -- Kelly Jensen "With a through line of alignment and intentionality, this second edition of The Teacher Clarity Playbook emphasizes the cognitive complexities to consider in purposeful planning. This book truly highlights and reminds us of both the art and science of teaching and deepens our appreciation for teachers and leaders." -- Amy Miles "In this second edition of the playbook, teacher clarity is explicitly linked to alignment and the intentional moves teachers make when planning for and facilitating instruction. The authors provide a metacognitive roadmap for developing instruction that meets the cognitive complexity of content standards and supports students in knowing where they are now and where to next." -- Angie Schultz
