Self-reported Grades (#1 effect!)

Simply, self-reported grades involve the teacher finding out what the students’ expectations are and pushing learners to exceed these expectations. Once learners perform beyond their own expectations, learners gain confidence in their learning abilities. video https://vimeo.com/41465488

 Mabe/West (1982): Validity of Self-evaluation of Ability

Hattie’s 8 Mind Frames from Visible Learning for Teachers

1. My fundamental task is to evaluate the effect of my teaching on students’ learning and achievement. 2. The success and failure of my students’ learning is about what I do or don’t do. I am a change agent. 3. I want to talk more about learning than teaching. 4. Assessment is about my impact. 5. I teach through dialogue not monologue. 6. I enjoy the challenge and never retreat to “doing my best”.

7. It’s my role to develop positive relationships in class and staffrooms. 8. I inform all about the language of learning. 8 Mind Frames Video = http://visible-learning.org/2014/08/john-hattie-mind-frames-teachers/ Review of VLfT: “The Main Idea” (Current Education Book Summaries) – J.
