Mind Frame Directions

After reviewing the objective above, watch the video presentation by John Hattie.  He will provide a brief overview of each of the mind frames.  Continue on this page by watching the video located at the bottom of the page.  This video will provide an overview of the research used to support the use of these mind frames.  

Information about each mind frame is located on the next eight pages.  Each page contains specific information about the mind frame and the research to support the use of that mind frame.  

Read through the mind frame pages and then complete the notebook reflection.  You will write your response to the reflection in your Zombie Survival Guide.  You will not complete the reflection until after you have completed all of the mind frames.

John Hattie's 8 Mind Frames for Teachers

To make a change in the classroom, teachers must first be able to identify the impact that they want to have on their students.  It is knowing the goals for the lesson that will increase the effectiveness of the lesson.  Teachers must adopt a new way of thinking if they want to have major impacts on student learning. 

John Hattie's Eight Mind Frames 

• Mind Frame 1:  Teachers believe that their fundamental task is to evaluate the effect of their teaching on students' learning and achievement. 

• Mind Frame 2:  Teachers believe that success and failure in student learning is about what they, as teachers, did or did not do...We are change agents! 

• Mind Frame 3:  Teachers want to talk more about the learning than the teaching. 

• Mind Frame 4:  Teachers see assessment as feedback about their impact. 

• Mind Frame 5:  Teachers engage in dialogue not monologue. 

• Mind Frame 6:  Teachers enjoy the challenge and never retreat to "doing their best."

• Mind Frame 7:  Teachers believe that it is their role to develop positive relationships in classrooms. 

• Mind Frame 8:  Teachers inform all about the language of learning.
