The Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) model provides a framework designed to enhance student success by making learning processes explicit. Developed for higher education faculty, TILT emphasizes clear communication of assignments and expectations using a structured approach that includes three key components:

Purpose – Explaining why the task is important and how it connects to learning goals.
Task – Clearly outlining what students need to do.
Criteria for Success – Providing specific guidelines, examples, or rubrics to help students understand expectations.

Research shows that implementing TILT improves student engagement, performance, and equity, particularly for first-generation and underrepresented students.
