Editing Outcome-based education (section)

===Clarity===
The focus on outcomes creates a clear expectation of what needs to be accomplished by the end of the course. Students will understand what is expected of them and teachers will know what they need to teach during the course. Clarity is important over years of schooling and when team teaching is involved. Each team member, or year in school, will have a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished in each class, or at each level, allowing students to progress.<ref name=Tam>{{cite journal|last1=Tam|first1=Maureen|title=Outcomes-based approach to quality assessment and curriculum improvement in higher education.|journal=Quality Assurance in Education|year=2014|volume=22|issue=2|pages=158–168|doi=10.1108/QAE-09-2011-0059}}</ref> Those designing and planning the curriculum are expected to work backwards once an outcome has been decided upon; they must determine what knowledge and skills will be required to reach the outcome.<ref name=Butler>{{cite book|last1=Butler|first1=Mollie|title=OUTCOMES BASED/ OUTCOMES FOCUSED EDUCATION OVERVIEW|date=2004}}</ref>
