Visible Learning: 
How Do We Make It So? 
The Data Difference 
PROCEDE 2014 
Julie Hobbs, ASSET Carol Marriott, ASSET
WALT: 
We Are Learning To: 
 Understand John Hattie’s high size-effect 
influences and how they can impact on 
student achievement. 
 We Are Learning To: 
 Apply his findings to our work with adult and 
‘young adult’ learners.
Teachers need to know what success criteria 
are expected and what the students will be 
accountable for from the lesson. 
The students also need to be informed about 
the standards of performance.
Success Criteria 
I will know that I have been 
a successful teacher when 
you can: 
1. Identify 2 high size-effect 
influences. 
2. Identify a next step in the 
process of creating visible 
learning in classrooms.
Goals: 
 Enroll students 
 Retain students 
 Provide the foundation/ skills that will help with 
employment 
 Increase student success
John Hattie

Reaction?
The Wingman Activity
To do: 
You: 
 Take notes of facts that: 
 Are important 
 Startle you 
 You question 
 Upset you 
 Create cognitive 
dissonance 
 Discuss these with your 
group. 
The Wingman: 
 Take notes of facts. 
 Record, on the template 
provided, your group’s: 
 Comments 
 Disagreements 
 Questions 
 A-ha moments

Application…
Understand the ‘young adult’ learner:
Average Retention Rate after 24 Hours 
(Sousa, 2006) 
Lecture 5% 
Reading 10% 
Audiovisual 20% 
Demonstration 30% 
Discussion Group 50% 
Practice by Doing 75% 
Teach Others/ Immediate 
Use of Learning 90%
Focus on the teacher:
Student-teacher relationships 
d= 0.72
Teacher credibility: 
d= 0.90 
 Students are very perceptive about knowing 
which teachers can make a difference. 
 4 key factors of credibility: 
 Trust 
 Competence 
 Dynamism 
 Immediacy
Teacher 
d= 0.75 
 Know where all of your students are re: progress. 
 Clearly define for yourself the goals and success 
criteria of your lesson. 
 Clearly communicate the intentions of the lessons 
and success criteria to the students. Clear 
learning intentions describe the skills, knowledge, 
attitudes and values that the students need to 
learn. 
 Know where to go next.
Teaching practices: 
 RTI d= 1.07 
 Formative evaluation d= 0.90 
 Classroom discussion d= 0.82 
Feedback d= 0.75 
 Reciprocal teaching d= 0.74 
Meta-cognitive strategies d= 0.69 
Concept mapping d= 0.60
Feedback 
d= 0.75 
 This is step 2; it follows effective instruction. 
 When we hear ‘feedback’, we usually think of 
teacher to student feedback…
Feedback should respond to what 
the student needs to know/ do next:
Reducing the Gap 
Effective feedback aims at reducing 
the gap between where the student 
‘is’ and where he or she is ‘meant to 
be’.
Cooperative Learning – Jigsaw 
“Know Thy Impact”
Examples of ‘teacher to student’ 
feedback: 
 Marks 
 Written comments on work 
 Email 
 Verbal comments 
 Personal feedback using technology 
 Other?
Feedback should be personal and 
specific:
Feedback should be timely:
Visible learning 
 The most powerful feedback, according to Hattie, is 
feedback from the student to the teacher. 
It makes learning visible by allowing the teacher to 
see learning through the eyes of the student.
End of lesson feedback: 
 Exit Card/ Ticket Out the Door 
WWW, EBI 
Feedback folders (red, yellow, green) 
 6-word Summary 
 Tweet 
 ‘What stuck with me today’ post-it
Rapid review:
Hattie says good teaching includes: 
 Development of trusting student-teacher relationships. 
 Clear learning intentions. WALT 
 Challenging, clear success criteria. 
 Teaching range of strategies. 
 Multiple opportunities to learn. 
 Peer work. Discussion about task. 
 Knowing when students are not succeeding. 
 Providing feedback. 
N.B. When a student excels, s/he wants to do it again.
