Ten mindframes for visible learning :
teaching for success
Contents: 1. I am an evaluator of my impact on student learning -- 2. I see assessment as informing my impact and next steps -- 3. I collaborate with my peers and my students about my conceptions of progress and my impact -- 4. I am a change agent and believe all students can improve -- 5. I strive for challenge and not merely "doing your best" -- 6. I give and help students understand feedback and I interpret and act on feedback given to me -- 7. I engage as much in dialogue as monologue -- 8. I explicitly inform students what successful impact looks like from the outset -- 9. I build relationships and trust so that learning can occur in a place where it is safe to make mistakes and learn from others -- 10. I focus on learning and the language of learning -- 11. Visible Learning: a vision.
Summary: John Hattie and Klaus Zierer define the ten behaviours or mindframes that teachers need to adopt in order to maximise student success. These powerful mindframes, which should underpin every action in schools, are founded on the principle that teachers are evaluators, change agents, learning experts, and seekers of feedback who are constantly engaged with dialogue and challenge. This practical guide, which includes questionnaires, scenarios, checklists, and exercises, will show any school exactly how to implement these mindframes to maximise success. (Books in Print)
