John Hattie is an education researcher who has done meta analysis to determine the biggest influences on student learning. He found that a 0.4 effect size equates to one year of learning. Strategies or influences that have a higher effect size than 0.4 have the opportunity to accelerate student learning further faster. Below are some of the high impact strategies we focus on in our district:
Collective Teacher Efficacy 1.57 (4 years worth of growth)
Creating Assessment Capable Learners 1.44 (3.5 years worth of growth)
Teacher Belief of Student Achievement 1.33 (3 years worth of growth)
Teacher Clarity 0.75 (2 years worth of growth)
Feedback 0.75 (2 years worth of growth)
Learning Goals 0.68 (1.5 years worth of growth)
Direct Instruction 0.60 (1.5 years worth of growth)
