Visible Learning For Teachers: Maximizing Impact On Learning (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
There is a reason that many educators refer to Hattie’s book as their Bible. It is a challenging cover-to-cover read, yet its fundamental message and underlying pedagogy cause one to return to it again and again. The depth of Hattie’s research is staggering and his mantra “Know thy impact” are words to live by. Hattie encourages all educators to be reflective practitioners who are sensitive and responsive to the needs of their students’ learning. This is a great, research-based manual for pre-service and inservice teachers, as well as school leaders. This will be my "go-to" book for classroom ideas supported by research. It is a great read cover to cover, but can also be used well by looking for topics within the index. The book is organized by lesson flow: before, during, after, etc. The take home message is that teachers should be adaptive experts, constantly looking for the impact they are having on students. Not rocket science, but the book has a way of framing this in terms of specific, concrete practices that can assist teachers with this.
