It has been 15 years since Professor John Hattie’s work on Visible Learning (VL) was published investigating the greatest influences on the learning lives of students. The Sequel is based on almost three times more meta-analyses, the VL programme has been introduced into over 10,000 schools, and the Sequel delves deeper into the explanation that discriminates the higher compared to lower influences. The session will discuss the importance of educator expertise, evaluative thinking, intentionally aligning teaching with the depth of complexity within lessons, and ensuring schools are seen by students as inviting, safe, and fair to make errors, learn with peers, and where they have great teachers by design not by chance.
