Making learning visible for teachers

This book is based on John Hattie's groundbreaking work "Visible Learning," in which he compiles the results of the world's largest collection of empirical research on the factors that enhance learning. "Visible Learning for Teachers" takes it a step further and presents the research findings in a way that can be productively implemented in the classroom. It places the learning processes of students at the center and demonstrates how teachers can consistently evaluate the effects of their teaching.

The most successful teaching methods are clearly and user-friendly described, and practical step-by-step guides are provided for the successful implementation of visible learning and teaching.

The book:

• connects the largest research project on teaching strategies with practical application in the classroom;
• emphasizes both the perspective of teachers and that of learners;
• covers the phases of lesson preparation and introduction, teaching and learning, as well as feedback during lessons and concluding and follow-up activities;
• offers checklists, exercises, case studies, and scenarios of good practice to support learning gains;
• provides guidance for schools and school leaders to successfully implement visible learning;
• addresses numerous areas of teaching and learning such as student motivation, individualization, feedback, classroom management, and metacognitive strategies;
• expands the data base to over 900 meta-analyses.

"Visible Learning for Teachers" is a must-read for all students and educators seeking an evidence-based answer to the question, "How can we improve learning outcomes in our schools?".
