CLARITY: WHAT MATTERS MOST IN LEARNING,
TEACHING, AND LEADING

with Lyn Sharratt

The Australian Council for Educational Leaders are very proud to present Lyn Sharratt as she presents her three-part webinar series “CLARITY: What Matters MOST in Learning, Teaching, and Leading”.

Bringing ‘CLARITY’ to the elements that sharpen precision-in-practice ensures knowing ‘where to next’. How to gain ‘CLARITY’ is based on a set of interrelated concepts deployed within an evidence-proven framework and implemented consistently and reflectively across systems, schools and classrooms.

This Webinar Series, in three parts: 1. Learning; 2. Teaching; and, 3. Leading, is built on solid research. There are no silver bullets or commercial programs that lead to continuous student improvement. While individual inferences can be made by interpreting many sources of data or evidence, the real power of data resides in the ‘aha’ outcomes of collaborative conversations from ‘roll-up-your sleeves’ work with ALL stakeholders.

These Webinars of fast-paced learning, for which Sharratt is well-known, will include experiential learning for all participants and provide opportunities for self-reflection. You will leave each session with a straight-forward path to CLARITY in your next steps – whatever your role in the school system may be – and ‘homework’ to apply what you just learned.
