Build capability to enhance learning, teaching and leading. 

Clarity Learning Suite aims to build data capability in networks and schools to enable you to work with colleagues to optimise learning growth for students at all levels of achievement. 

You will focus on growth in student learning through evidence-proven assessment and instructional approaches, utilising reflection and data-wise decision-making to take action. 

The Clarity Learning Suite provides a scaffolded model of professional learning to create a culture of shared responsibility and accountability for student growth, attainment and wellbeing.
