“Visible Learning for Parents: 10 Mind frames”

Presented with Kyle Hattie

This session outlines the major arguments to enable parents to support their children to become great learners. One purpose is for school leaders and teachers to provide a language for parents about learning, enable them to see the nature of learning in today’s classrooms, and to show them how they can support their children in complementing learning at school. We argue parents are not ‘first teachers’ but they are ‘first learners’ and how they react to learning can be a key modelling experience for their children.
