Institutes
Immersive, Integrated and Informed Training
Clarity innovations offers Institutes as 2-day professional development workshops focusing on the most effective instructional technologies and how they integrate and support your educational goals, prepare you for innovation, and improve the effectiveness and "sticking power" of your training efforts.
The Clarity Institute model encompasses the literacy and integration methods of professional development, and goes a step further by generalizing the lessons to create a broader base of application. Participants in a Clarity Institute come away with ideas, direction, a large collection of resources and next steps for action in integrating key technologies into their curriculum.
