Setting The Standard — Session 05

Effective Learning Strategies

John Hattie's Visible Learning research, and how effect sizes help teachers decide what is actually worth doing in the classroom.

This session introduces Professor John Hattie's Visible Learning research, exploring the teaching strategies that have the greatest impact on student achievement. Participants examine the evidence behind high-impact instructional practices and how effect sizes can help teachers make informed decisions about classroom practice.

The module explores strategies including explicit instruction, worked examples, retrieval practice, questioning, scaffolding and formative assessment, focusing on approaches that consistently produce the strongest learning outcomes.

By the end of the session, teachers will understand how to select evidence-informed teaching strategies that maximise student progress and achievement.
