Foreword by John Hattie, Afterword by Peter DeWitt



September 2026 | 488 pages | Corwin

Transform educational research into practices that help every student thrive

Educators face the immense challenge of turning seemingly complex educational research into daily routines to improve their students' life chances. Precision-in-Practice, the inspiring follow-up to Lyn Sharratt's bestselling CLARITY, bridges this gap by showing how schools worldwide use CLARITY tools to create measurable impact. Grounded in a deep commitment to excellence and equity for all learners, this practical down-to-earth guide offers a roadmap to overcome real-world challenges through collective efficacy. Features include:

  • Real-world case studies developed by grounded practitioners from global classrooms, spanning elementary to secondary systems
  • Chapters organized around the improvement cycle: context, impact, leadership lessons, and reflection
  • Actionable strategies for building inclusive environments for students with special learning needs.

Whether you are a classroom teacher or a system leader, this relatable resource will empower you to confidently apply the "how" of teaching. By staying focused on your "why," you will foster an educational environment where ALL children can experience meaningful growth and achievement.
