Showing Learning in the Classroom

As part of the overall learning environment, we should always think about how we make student work visible in terms of its impact on learning.

The design of learning spaces and the structuring of learning time are driven and shaped by the learning community’s intended learning impacts.

The expectation at ISB is that all learning spaces include some form of evidence of learning for three reasons:

1. To make the learning space inviting and a place that students are proud of.

2. To share and celebrate student learning

3. To make learning visible and so directly impact learning outcomes.

Note: What, Why, How should always be displayed. See pages on Clarity in the Classroom.

A Learning Wall is a great way to make learning and teaching visible in your classroom.

“Visible teaching and learning occurs when there is deliberate practice aimed at attaining mastery of the goal, when there is feedback given and sought, and when there are active, passionate, and engaging people (teacher, students, peers) participating in the act of learning.” – John Hattie
