What is Visible Learning?

Visible Learning is an approach to teaching and learning based on the work of Professor John Hattie and his synthesis of over 800 meta-analysis relating to achievement. In a nut-shell he wanted to find out what factors have the most positive effect on pupils' outcomes. 

At Fielding we have developed a shared language of learning, this includes pupils, all staff members and parents. John Hattie states that pupils knowing the expectations of themselves results in the biggest impact, pupils at Fielding are  'assessment capable learners' this means they have a deep understanding of what effective learning is, where they are going, how they are going and where they need to go next with their learning.
