Fisher & Frey Events

Master using learning intentions and success criteria and you’ll unlock the keys to teacher clarity – and increase student success. Join thought leaders Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey as they explore the latest research and strategies to accelerate teacher clarity and student learning.

Teacher clarity is both a method and a mindset, and it has an impressive effect size of 0.84. The concept is not new; it’s just yet to be implemented in ways that ensure students know what they are learning, why they are learning it, and how they will know that they have learned.  When students have answers to these questions, they are much more likely to take increased responsibility for their learning and eventually drive their learning.  Imagine classrooms and schools in which students can explain their current level of performance and where they are going next in their learning journeys.  These places ensure that students select learning tools, monitor their progress, seek feedback, and teach others.  Without clarity in learning, students’ ability to drive their learning (or take responsibility for their learning) is compromised.  Join us as we take teacher clarity to the next level.

This two-day certification is designed to equip you with the knowledge and techniques that will enable you deliver effective Teacher Clarity Playbook trainings in your school system.

Restorative practices are an alternative to punitive approaches to classroom management. These practices humanize the schooling experience and allow individuals who cause harm to make amends. Restorative practices rely on strong relationships as well as clear systems and procedures to ensure that harm is addressed. The impact is increased equity for BIPOC students as well as a reduction in exclusionary practices such as suspension and expulsion. But as importantly, students change their behavior as they come to understand the impact that it has.
