What IMPACT do your behaviors

“This model of teaching requires
monologue with constant focus on
the teacher. Another approach is to
give a task to complete. You do it
and if you don’t do it the way I
hoped, we’ll talk about it and I’ll
come up with another approach
and give you another go at it. The
emphasis in dialogue is active
listening by the teacher to how
students are learning. “
8
“I’m at the stage now where I don’t
want to talk about teaching anymore
– not because it isn’t important but
because it often keeps us from
having important discussions about
learning. In teachers’ colleges where
the emphasis is on teaching – they
say, here’s a good way to teach and
here’s how you teach this concept
and this is what you do when this
doesn’t happen, and so on.”
“If I put up my hand, as a student in
a classroom, and say, “Look I’m
having trouble; I don’t understand,”
then I am taking the risk that my
fellow students will say, “Oh, there
he goes…he doesn’t understand.”
That’s why trust and positive
relationships are so critical. “
“With the emphasis on evaluation
of impact as the teacher’s mindset,
the fundamental reason for
administering assessments in the
classroom is to find out what you as
the teacher did well – who did you
teach well and who not so well,
what did you teach well and what
not so well, and so on. “

“We learned that parents didn’t
understand what happens in
schools – and this is still the case
with many parents today. They
don’t understand the language of
learning and they don’t understand
what is involved in learning today.
They don’t know how to talk with
their children about their learning
or with teachers about their
children’s learning.”
8
“If I give you an incredibly difficult
task to do, at some point very soon
on you’re going to need some
guidance and help. You’re going to
need me to get involved and say
something such as, “Don’t go that
way; go this way.” And so instead of
taking on the role as facilitator,
teachers need to see themselves as
change agents – the teacher’s role is
to effect change. “
“I think what happens to us as
educators is that we perceive our
role as implementing the
curriculum planning and
delivering lessons and making
sure the education we’re offering
meets the needs of kids. What
we don’t say is “we had an
impact on them and their
learning.’”
Mind
Frames
from
John
Hattie
“The purpose of schools is to help
students exceed their potential and
do more than they thought they
could do. To find out what students
can do, and help them do better.
And that’s a challenge. We should
never accept a student’s best. It’s
okay. But it’s a springboard to doing
even better. “

Mind Frame 1
Teachers and leaders serve as
evaluators of their impact.
We must cultivate the disposition to asking questions about
our work…
How can I compare ‘this’ with ‘that’?
What is the merit and worth of this influence on learning?

 Feedback is information provided by a teacher, peer, book,
parent, or self/experience about one’s performance.
 Who did you teach well and who not so well?
 What did you teach well and not so well?

struggles, strategies for learning, their success, their
interactions with peers, etc.

Meta-Meta Analysis: Hattie’s group designed
algorithms that related more than 900 “metaanalyses” including over 50,000 studies and
more than 240,000,000 students to measure
the impact—or “effect” — of 180 variables on
how “much” students learn in a year. The
original “study” took fifteen years to
complete. It is still going on. As new metaanalyzes are completed, the team includes
them in the research.

Reverse Effects are self-explanatory, and below 0.0.
Developmental Effects are d=0.0 to d=0.15, and the
improvement we expect to see in a child who simply
grows up with little or not schooling.
Teacher Effects – teacher typically can attain d=0.20 to
d=0.40 growth per year, and this can be considered
average (refer to median standard deviation). This is
subject to a lot of variation.
Desired Effects are those above d=0.40 which are
attributable to specific interventions or methods being
researched.
Six Sign Posts Toward Excellence in Education, p. 22
1. Teachers are among the most powerful influences in learning.
2. Teachers need to be directive, influential, caring and actively and passionately
engaged in teaching and learning.
3. Teachers need to be aware of what each student is thinking
and what they know and be able to construct meaning in light
of this knowledge of the students.
4. Teachers AND student need to know the learning intentions
and the criteria for student success.
5. Teachers need to move from the single idea to multiple ideas
and to relate and extend these ideas so that learners
construct and reconstruct knowledge.
6. School leaders and teachers need to create schools,
staffrooms and classroom environments in which error is
welcomed as a learning opportunity.

that we would need to plan
interventions to remove barriers,
compensate, contest or combat
its effect on learning?

We cannot promote passive
involvement with video stimulus.
Retention is a last resort . It hurts kids.
We often separate kids by gender
but never change our teaching.

have a better “effect size”

examined, but they should
be used with caution.

CAI DOES have a positive effect, but it is
far more effective with teacher input,

What does this mean to daily instruction?
Continue to teach in developmentally appropriate ways: sensorimotor (birth to 2 years old);
preoperational (2-7 years); Concrete Operation (7-11); Formal Operational (12 to adulthood)
As with our assessment literacy focus in Kentucky, assessment is used to inform
and adjust instruction so that students learn at an optimum level.
Similar to student teaching activities where a mini-lesson is taught and then a
mentor gives immediate feedback on teacher behaviors and student learning.
The purpose of reciprocal teaching is to facilitate a group effort between teacher and students
as well as among students in the task of bringing meaning to the text

Help us write a conclusion and
come to closure on the
implications research by John
Hattie, as written in Visible
Learning and Visible Learning
for Teachers, SHOULD have
on our practice.
With your elbow partner,
please answer these two
questions:
1.
What does this information mean
to my school and me?
2. If we have the information, how
can we not help but act?
Unless someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get
better. It’s not.
Dr. Seuss
When teachers SEE learning
through the eyes of the
student and when students
SEE themselves as their own
teachers, visible learning
occurs.
