Day 1 of Visible Learning with John Hattie

Here are a few of my key take-aways so far...

• Leaders: Promoting/participating in ts learning and development has the highest impact on student outcomes -0.84 effect size
• Imagine what your students would be willing to attempt if they knew they could not fail?
• Instead of “What did you learn today” ask “What kind of feedback did your teacher give you today?”
• What if you had your teachers change their "Learning Intentions" or "Learning Targets" to "Learning Promises?
• the best in the world still need coaches. Self-regulatory feedback/feedforward helps solve problems they didn't know they had
• Learning intentions should cover the goal of the lesson and should be mastery-related as opposed to performance-related.
• Just b/c you teach deeper learning doesn’t mean scores will be higher if those tests don’t require deeper thinking.
• Most gifted kids do not become gifted adults b/c they don’t learn how to struggle.
• Teacher collective efficacy is more powerful than anything a student brings to the classroom
• We show students where to look, not what to see.
