Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximizing Impact on Learning

Whether you are a classroom teacher, school leader, or involved in training educators, you should always keep a copy Visible Learning for Teachers close by. This is both a great reference for educational research and a comprehensive guide for planning and presenting meaningful instruction to students of all levels. Hattie's work can also serve as a standard against which other educational publications can be measured. I have noticed that he is widely quoted and misquoted by other authors who seem to be trying to ride the wake of his astounding work. Read Hattie first.

This book has great information

This text is an excellent text for an administrative team to read together. I would advocate that they also read his other work. For any administrators who are engaged in creating data profiles of their schools and putting into the hands of their teachers scripted curriculum that makes grandiose claims of success, this book will help to enrich the conversation about "Why are we doing this? and Why are we doing this this way?"

This is a great work, it really takes the guess work, out of what works (Good Research). Which has in the past been the rule of the day in education for so many years. It is time to stop the statement, "This will past, and we will gone to next BEST things" (The Cycle). Fads have been the rule of the day " Please! Just the Facts". Dr. Taylor, Toureno D.

John Hattie does a wonderful job of taking research and illuminating how teachers make a visible difference in student learning. Creating lifelong learners is the goal of teachers who are learning experts. Every legislator in our country needs to study the work of John Hattie and look to the successes of other countries like Finland. Investing in teachers who can make learning "visible" is the answer to our economic crisis. Education is the answer!

This book goes a little over my head with the statistics but is very interesting. I am not very far into it but have already used the student survey with my students. Very research based.

Hattie's latest is like his previous work, Visible Learning: it is a great read full of ideas that are able to be implemented in classrooms and across schools straight away. Key ideas are repeated at various times so you come away with some essential tools that are easy to recall.

This book has become the foundation for all of the work I do. I serve as a Special Education administrator and now reference this as we look to trying new strategies, providing professional learning for teachers, and prioritizing time for different things (e.g. test prep vs. progress monitoring). It's a regular reference for me. The only con is that it's not available on Kindle yet so I can't have it with me everywhere I go!

This book was breath of fresh air. I was refreshed with an objective and unbiased look at what works and what doesn't work -without the spin. It is filled with practical exercises to throw straight into the classroom. It is insightful, giving many examples from studies and some from personal experience. However, it does get repetitive towards the final chapters. Nevertheless I gave it five stars because of what it has "visibly"done and doing to my teaching practice. I highly recommend this teachers who want to increase their impact on their learners.

Vieles funktioniert in der Bildung - aber wenige finden zu der selben Meinung was wichtig ist. Dieses John Hattie gibt mit seinen Büchern Orientierung in der Bildungsdebatte: Was funktioniert meist besser? Was oft nicht so gut? Sind hohe Kosten für eine gewisse Massnahme gerechtfertigt? Was könnte man mit wenig Aufwand tun um eine Verbesserung zu erreichen? Klar darf man die Daten nicht als Wahrheiten sehen - es sind statistische Größen - aber immerhin gibt es Fakten die über viele Jahre zusammengetragen wurden. Das wichtigste für mich ist die Conclusio wie wichtig Feedback im Bildungsprozess ist - für den Lerner, die Pädagogen und den Prozess. Da ist noch viel zu tun! Nur wenn man auch im Einzelfall auf die Fakten schaut und sich überlegt was funktioniert für diesen Lerner kommen wir weiter - und genau das ist der Punkt in diesem Buch.

A must in Neuroeducation. Hattie is one of the best references. His meta analysis has made contributions to the field.

Il libro è buono ma l’impaginazione e un sacco di caratteri estranei lo rendono illeggibile!!! Un grande peccato per una risorsa così importante

I liked the speedy delivery and the fact that despite being used, the book was in Perfecto condition. A great deal considering that the new book costs about $60.
