Take one aspect amongst the most powerful influences for students’ achievement that fits best to your current classroom or school.

It provides useful background information that helps to bring the research into action. This website is aimed to help decide this question for your own school and share your experiences with other teachers. The question teachers asked most was: Where to start? However, it is also a huge challenge for teachers, head teachers or school districts to bring Visible Learning aspects and a new role of teachers into the classroom. One of the main aspects of Visible Learning is a new understanding of the enhanced role of teachers: Teachers are most successful when they become evaluators of their own teaching.ĭuring my own work with schools in Germany and the research for a book about students feedback I noticed that most teachers are highly interested to learn about “what works best in education” based on facts from the Visible Learning study.

For an interview with John Hattie in 2012 TES titled “ He’s not the messiah… but for many policymakers he comes close.” At least since he has published his follow up Visible Learning for Teachers (2012) that focuses on the underlying story behind the data. When John Hattie’s first book Visible Learning was published in 2009 the Times Educational Supplement talked of nothing less than the “ holy grail of education“. The questions is which ones work best and where to concentrate our efforts. Hattie compared effect sizes of many aspects that influence learning outcomes. Hattie points out that in education most things work.

Visible Learning was introduced by John Hattie in his groundbreaking meta study Visible Learning (2009).
