The CLARITY Learning Suite
The focus is on building teacher and leader capacity to increase student achievement and growth in an ongoing, sustainable way. Lyn and her team of collaborators - Sue Walsh, Australia, Maggie Ogram, New Zealand, Mike Ogram, New Zealand, Jim Coutts, Canada, developed CLARITY Learning Suite (CLS) for system and school leaders, and for practitioners to personalise their learning.
- Begins with and continually returns to its foundation: Parameter #1: Shared Beliefs and Understandings – all children can learn, all teachers can teach – given time and the right support; high expectations and early and ongoing intervention are critical; and leaders, teachers and leaders can clearly articulate why they lead, teach, and learn the way they do;
- Ensures the focus is on students’ learning through evidence-proven assessment and instructional approaches. Parameters 3 and 13;
- Engages learners, teachers and leaders in reflection and data-wise decision-making to put FACES on data and take action (Parameter #6);
- Provides a scaffolded model of Professional Learning for participants to collaborate and learn together with a nominated ‘Learning Leader’. The CLS notion of ‘Learning Leaders’ is a key feature to build and ensure sustainable leading and learning;
- Focuses on a culture of learning to create shared responsibility and accountability for students’ growth, attainment and wellbeing (Parameter #1#4 #6 #14);
- Enables participants to work through the CLARITY text on Learning, Teaching and Leading in 12 Modules, each Module having several Sessions. Sessions take approximately 60 minutes to complete and 30 minutes for follow-up personalised learning.
- Affords educators the opportunity for ongoing Professional Learning within-in groups, across-groups and individually; CLS maximises opportunities for those in small, remote or isolated communities to be involved in collaborative Professional Learning 24/7;
- Requires participants to make a 12 month commitment to the Professional Learning;
- Entitles participants to renew their CLS Learning Membership annually after the initial 2 years, retaining access to notes, revisiting sessions and maintaining and growing purposeful contacts with others in the Membership Forum. This extended Learning Membership is another measure of CLS’ commitment to sustainability of the ongoing learning gained.

Research
Lyn Sharratt and Michael Fullan published the 14 Parameter Framework of System and School Improvement based on their research cited in multiple journal articles but most noteworthy in their texts “Realization” (Corwin, 2009) and “FACES” (Corwin, 2012).
The Research behind the now refined 14 Parameters of System and School Improvement (CLARITY 2019) is core to the CLARITY Learning Suite and informs the material presented in the Suite.
Online Resources
CLS is an interactive on-line resource for learning, teaching and leading based on collaborative practices with access to all Lyn’s resources. The CLS includes videos, presentation slides, Learning Leader Notes, processes for collaboration, templates, articles, and case studies.
A feature of the CLARITY Learning Suite is the voices of current practitioners sharing their insights on improving learning outcomes for all learners. These contributions from practitioners across the world enrich and unify the work of the CLARITY Learning Suite.

No teacher left behind: The way forward to curb the teacher shortage crisis
It has become critical to address the problem of Australian teacher shortages. The Australian Government has declared the teacher shortage an “unprecedented” challenge projecting a shortfall of more than 4,000 high school teachers by 2025 (Welch, 2022). However, shortages are being felt across the board, especially in rural and remote schools prompting a targeted national campaign to raise the status and value the role of the teaching profession.

To Commit or Not Commit
After a Professional Learning session this week, I worried about those leaders and teachers who didn’t come; those leaders and teachers who didn’t stay; those leaders and teachers who came only to “show the flag”, and then left. I wondered when they committed to system and school improvement on behalf of all students, who set expectations, made demands for and monitored the attendance of school leaders and teachers with their school teams at PL sessions?
