In November 2008, John Hattie's ground-breaking book Visible Learning
synthesised the results of more than fifteen years research involving
millions of students and represented the biggest ever collection of
evidence-based research into what actually works in schools to improve
learning.
Visible Learning for Teachers takes the next step and brings those
ground breaking concepts to a completely new audience. Written for
students, pre-service and in-service teachers, it explains how to apply
the principles of Visible Learning to any classroom anywhere in the
world. The author offers concise and user-friendly summaries of the most
successful interventions and offers practical step-by-step guidance to
the successful implementation of visible learning and visible teaching
in the classroom.
This book:
- links the biggest ever research project on teaching strategies to
practical classroom implementation
- champions both teacher and student perspectives and contains step by
step guidance including lesson preparation, interpreting learning and
feedback during the lesson and post lesson follow up
- offers checklists, exercises, case studies and best practice scenarios
to assist in raising achievement
- includes whole school checklists and advice for school leaders on
facilitating visible learning in their institution
- now includes additional meta-analyses bringing the total cited within
the research to over 900
- comprehensively covers numerous areas of learning activity including
pupil motivation, curriculum, meta-cognitive strategies, behaviour,
teaching strategies, and classroom management.
Visible Learning for Teachers is a must read for any student or
teacher who wants an evidence based answer to the question; 'how do we
maximise achievement in our schools?'
