Visible learning

As teachers are busy with their work load, between meetings, planning, and marking. They distracted

with what they are teaching rather than what the students are learning. Teachers are focused on

resourcing, achieving, finishing the curriculum. They forget an important question, what is the impact of

what I am doing on a daily basis on my students’ learning? What is my impact on my students?

A well-known educator and a Professor called “Johan Hattie” introduced a development practical

approach called the Visible Learning

Visible learning is all about: “What works best for learning. This means an enhanced role for teachers as

they become evaluators of their own teaching. According to John Hattie, Visible Learning and Teaching

occurs when teachers see learning through the eyes of students and help them become their own

teachers.” https://visible-learning.org/

ASCS- Al Layyah school is very proud to take a step in implementing VL in all the classes starting from

Kindergarten. Teachers and leaders were trained on this great program and now both students and

teachers started to have a shared language of learning in the class.

Teachers implemented effective strategies to explain to our students where they are going (by explaining

the learning objective) How they are going (by using success criteria) and what they have to do next (By

effective feedback).

Our students started to show an improved attitude towards learning by implementing the learning

dispositions and language. Furthermore, they become more responsible of their learning knowing what is

their next step.

The learning process is all about helping the students in solving their own problem, and making informed

decisions. The learning Pit is a process of gradual learning; everyone is getting into the pit of learning

when faced with challenge. When a child says: “I am Stuck” it is a celebration and an opportunity to build

each individual’s learning capacity.

We want our students to embrace the challenge and to grow a growth mindset. This view creates a love

of learning and resilience which is essential for great accomplishment.

The Students Council participated in a workshop

about ‘expressing opinions regarding the rights of

the child in the UAE’, which was held at the

Sharjah Biennial Center for Children. Students

shared their views on what they dream about in

their schools, aspirations and suggestions, which

they then shared with the school principal for her

review and consideration. The principal has

listened carefully to their ideas and then assigned

them the task of surveying other students to get

more ideas on developing the school aspects.

Participating students were appreciated for their

active participation in the workshop.
