John Hattie developed a way of synthesizing various influences in different meta-analyses according to their effect size (Cohen’s d). In his ground-breaking study “Visible Learning” he ranked 138 influences that are related to learning outcomes from very positive effects to very negative effects. Hattie found that the average effect size of all the interventions he studied was 0.40. Therefore he decided to judge the success of influences relative to this ‘hinge point’, in order to find an answer to the question “What works best in education?”
Objective:
Using John Hattie's work on Visible Learning, teaching practices and effect size, we will examine what practices are being used in Region 18, where and what they 'look like'.
Through (sort of) jigsaw learning (EF ~1.20), groups will become familiar with high impact practices and brainstorm where they are present (or aren't) and list what they/can look like in classrooms.
Six Effect Size Domains: Child, Home, School, Curriculum, Teacher, Instruction
We will focus primarily on the domains 'Classroom, Teacher, Teaching and Curricula' since we have control over these areas. Using a Notice and React protocol, teams will identify areas that are considered high impact influences on learning. From there we will identify at least five high value strategies that are part of our instructional values, where they happen, and what they look like in classrooms. We will also identify at least two areas where we would like to grow in instructional practice.
School/Classroom
Curricula
Teaching
Teacher
In this webinar you will learn about why Collective Efficacy is the #1 influence on student achievement.
