__Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximizing Impact on Learning__ John Hattie Published by Routledge, 2012

**Chapter 1**
This book asks, "what are the attributes of schooling that truly make the difference to student learning. . .?" p 1

Visible = 1. making student learning visible to teachers; clearly identifying the attributes that affect learning and the visibility should be passed along to ALL people in the school. 2. making teaching visible to the student so that he becomes his own teacher/life-long learner. p. 1

While practically all interventions make a difference in student learning, __Visible Learning for Teachers__ focuses on those interventions that have a greater than 0.40 effect on student learning.

Hey, Jefferson City- "Overly concentrating on achievement can miss much about what student know, can do, and care about." p. 3 "Schooling should have major impacts on not only enhancement of knowing and understanding, but also on the enhancement of character: intellectual character, moral character, civic character, and performance." p. 4 ** How do we measure this? **

Figure 1.2 on page 5 is a graphic of the big ideas that are expanded in the rest of the book.

The last page of chapter 6, presents the rationale for checklists. Something to which I had never given much thought.

// **Chapter 1 Homework Question**- In what ways might the mindframes from Visible Learning be critical to the deployment of SPS Learning Model? // David wrote- It will be important that teachers have the opportunity cuss and discuss with peers the implementation and effectiveness of the various components of the LM. They must also be able to qualitatively and quantitative evaluate the effectiveness of the LM in moving students forward. (p. 14/15, Hattie)
