Four Dimensions of Teacher Clarity
Four Dimensions of Teacher Clarity
Fendick, (1990) defined teacher clarity as "a measure of the clarity of communication between teachers and students in both directions" and further described it across four dimensions. (The Teacher Clarity Playbook, 2018, Fisher and Frey)
Clarity of organization, such that lesson tasks, assignments, and activities include links to the objectives and outcomes of learning.
Clarity of explanation, such that information is relevant, accurate, and comprehensible to students.
Clarity of examples and guided practice, such that the lesson includes information that is illustrative and illuminating as students gradually move to independence, making progress with less support from the teacher.
Clarity of assessment of student learning, such that the teacher is regularly seeking out and acting upon the feedback he or she receives from students, especially through their verbal and written responses.
An essential component of teacher clarity is understanding what the students need to learn. Students need to know how they will know when they are proficient in the learning. The first step in gaining this clarity is looking at the standards and identifying the skills and concepts. The impact of understanding the learning outcome is high expectations for all students. Second, we understand the need for collaboration with other teachers.
