Feedback is one of the most powerful influences on learning and achievement – if you get it right. Professor John Hattie’s landmark Visible Learning research concluded that effective feedback, combined with effective instruction, improves the rate of learning by a factor of 2! But first, educators must know the difference between effective and ineffective feedback. In this webinar, Professor John Hattie will explain how to distinguish between the two and provide answers to some of the most crucial questions.

This webinar introduces key concepts from the book on what works, and more importantly, when it works. Fisher and Frey explain the importance of effect size in determining one’s impact on student learning, and explore the learning conditions needed as students go from surface learning, to deeper learning and transfer. Graphic organizers are effective, but when? When is reciprocal teaching best deployed? In collaboration with John Hattie, the authors have aligned literacy practices to phases of learning.

With an effect size of .74, which is well above average, teacher clarity is low-hanging fruit when it comes to students’ learning. We can choose to increase clarity tomorrow and reap the benefits. Just ask Doug Fisher, coauthor of The Teacher Clarity Playbook, and John Almarode, coauthor of Clarity for Learning. Teacher clarity just requires that you know what students need to learn, communicate learning intentions and success criteria to students, and deliver lessons in a coherent way so students will learn more. Attend this webinar for expert insight on how to get started.

How do we maximize precious time to ensure that students grasp enough to prepare them for informed civic life? The discipline of social studies is far more than memorizing dates and facts. It involves the skillful ability to conduct investigations, analyze sources, place events in historical and cultural context, and synthesize various points of view, while recognizing our own biases. Join Julie Stern in this webinar to understand how using the right approach at the right time can maximize student learning.

Presented by Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher

In this webinar, Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher discuss how building an environment where students progress through relevant and challenging content allows you to create a classroom teeming with discussion and purposeful activity. They also share a framework for making daily improvements—centered around relationships, clarity, and challenge—that increases student learning and helps you manage your classroom’s success.

A key skill used by high-gain teachers to communicate high expectations for all learners is creating a talk environment of robust student-to-student discourse. Join Jon Saphier, author of High Expectations Teaching, to learn the key teaching moves that create rigorous student dialogue, where students talk more than teachers and display a high level of thinking. 

Presented by Jackie Walsh

Student questions support visible learning by engaging students in authentic discussion and providing teachers feedback about where students are in their learning. Yet student questions are largely absent from most classrooms today. Join author Jackie Walsh to learn how to create an environment, cultivate mindframes, and intentionally design experiences to develop student capacity as skillful, purposeful questioners. This interactive session includes video clips spotlighting students using four question types—self-questions, academic, exploratory, and dialogic—to advance different learning outcomes and increase students’ ownership of their learning.
