Visible Learning for Literacy, Grades K-12: Implementing the Practices That Work Best to Accelerate Student Learning
Description
Description
Ensure students demonstrate more than a year's worth of learning during a school year
Renowned literacy experts Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey work with John Hattie to apply his 15 years of research, identifying instructional routines that have the biggest impact on student learning, to literacy practices. These practices are "visible" because their purpose is clear, they are implemented at the right moment in a student's learning, and their effect is tangible.
Through dozens of classroom scenarios, learn how to use the right approach at the right time for surface, deep, and transfer learning and which routines are most effective at each phase of learning.
