Making the Learning (more) Visible

“Know thy impact…”John Hattie

“Practice in the classroom is formative to the extent that the evidence about student achievement is elicited, interpreted,

and used by teachers, learners or their peers, to make decisions about the next steps in instruction that are likely to be better, or better founded, than the decisions they would

have taken in the absence of the evidence that was elicited.”P. Black and D. Wiliam
