But this is more than just a new edition. This book is a sequel that highlights the major story, taking in the big picture to reflect on the implementation in schools of Visible Learning, how it has been understood – and at times misunderstood – and what future directions research should take.Visible Learning: The Sequel reiterates the authors desire to move beyond claiming what works to what works best by asking crucial questions such as: Why is the current grammar of schooling so embedded in so many classrooms, and can we improve it? Why is the learning curve for teachers after the first few years so flat? How can we develop teacher mind-frames to focus more on learning and listening? How can we incorporate research evidence as part of the discussions within schools? Areas covered include:The evidence base and reactions to Visible LearningThe Visible Learning modelThe intentional alignment of learning and teaching strategiesThe influence of home, students, teachers, classrooms, schools, learning, and curriculum on achievementThe impact of technologyBuilding upon the success of the original, this highly anticipated sequel expands Hatties model of teaching and learning based on evidence of impact and is essential reading for anyone involved in the field of education either as a researcher, teacher, student, school leader, teacher trainer, or policy maker.
