HOW STUDENTS LEARN

Presenting Visible Learning^plus 2020 Workshops featuring ALL NEW content.

The Visible Learning^plus school change model of professional learning is based on one simple belief: every student should experience at least one year’s growth over the course of one school year.

Visible Learning^plus translates the research of Professor John Hattie into a practical roadmap for implementation in the classroom and schoolwide. Today, schools around the world use Visible Learning^plus to examine their impact on student achievement and create innovation in the learning environment.

Visible Learning is unique because it not only gives you evidence to prove what you are doing is effective it provides the data gathering techniques you need to continuously measure your impact on student learning and use evidence to inform your next professional learning steps.

Corwin and The Australian Council for Educational Leaders are proud to present the first of our Visible Learning series for 2020. Three events will be presented this May in in Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane in May. Each event is held over two full days featuring a Visible Learning Foundation Day and Symposium Sessions.

SYMPOSIUM DAY:
PRESENTED BY JOHN HATTIE AND SAM RODGERS

There is a science to learning and we are finding out more and more about what works best to support the learning processes that make a difference for learners. During this day you will hear about a research-based model of learning and how to apply the principles to achieve more effective learning outcomes for your learners. You will consider how learning strategies can be used to maximise impact so that learners develop the skill, the will and the thrill of learning and what strategies work best at the surface, deep and transfer phases of learning.

Practical examples, insights and strategies to reflect on and use in your own practice is at the heart of this day.

JOHN HATTIE

In 2008, Professor John Hattie published Visible Learning, a synthesis of more than 800 meta-studies covering more than 80 million students. The book revealed what education variables have the biggest impact on learning and created a new mindset that has swept up educators around the world.

Visible Learning means that students know what they need to learn, how to learn it, and how to evaluate their own progress. Using the Visible Learning approach, teachers become evaluators of their own impact on student learning. The combination causes students to drive their own learning. Since 2008, Professor Hattie has teamed with highly influential educators to expand the Visible Learning canon with books, including Visible Learning into Action, Visible Learning for Teachers, Visible Learning for Mathematics and Visible Learning for Literacy.

Visible Learning^plus is the model of professional learning that takes the theory of Hattie’s research and puts it into a practical inquiry model for teachers and school leaders to ask questions of themselves about the impact they are having on student achievement. Visible Learning^plus is a result of the collaboration between Professor John Hattie and Corwin with the aim to help educators translate the Visible Learning research. Through a global network of partners, Visible Learning^plus professional learning is implemented in over 20 countries in North America, Europe, and the Pacific.

SAM RODGERS

Sam Rodgers is currently an education consultant with Corwin Australia. With extensive experience in both local and international schools, Sam has most recently been the Learning and Teaching Adviser for the English Schools Foundation in Hong Kong. There, she supported teachers and leaders implementing Visible Learning in their schools and developed professional learning for teachers on pedagogy, leadership and wellbeing.

In her current role, Sam supports schools across the country who are putting Visible Learning theory into practice. Sam facilitates teacher workshops, collaborates with leadership teams and undertakes school reviews. Sam is also a Visible Learning for Literacy accredited facilitator, with background in language and literacy. Sam is deeply committed in partnering with educators to help build effective teaching to ensure ALL learners are learning.

FOUNDATION DAY:
Presented by Visible Learning^Plus Certified Consultant

At the core of today’s learning is the narrative of Professor John Hattie’s Visible Learning research, which has been distilled into five key strands. We will begin the day by providing background knowledge of the Visible Learning research, which seeks to investigate “what works best” in education. It is from this research base that we will then go deeper into each of the key Visible Learning strands that describe the themes uncovered in the research and what the research looks like in practice. We will then conclude the day with a session on the 10 Mindframes for Success.

The day is designed to consider ways of supporting educators to ‘see the learning through the eyes of the student and students to see themselves as their own teachers.’

The Foundation Day seminar will be facilitated by a highly experienced and certified Visible Learning^plus consultant. John Hattie will be presenting How Students Learn during Symposium Day only.
