What is the Visible Learning approach?

About VISIBLE LEARNING®

Applying the Visible Learning® methodology means that students are taught to know what they need to learn, how to learn it, and how to evaluate their own progress. Using the Visible Learning approach, teachers become evaluators of their own impact on student learning.

What are the principles of Visible Learning?

Visible Teaching and Learning The principle throughout the book is “visible teaching and learning.” When the teaching is visible the student knows what to do and how to do it. When the learning is visible the teacher knows if learning is occurring or not.

What are the benefits of Visible Learning?

The main benefit for students is that by focusing on the learning intention, they begin to fully understand what they are learning rather than doing. We are also empowering students to set their learning goals and track their progress on data walls.

Why is it called Visible Learning?

It is based on evidence from John Hattie's book Visible Learning. The 'visible' refers to a few things. First, it refers to making student learning visible to teachers so they can know whether they are having an impact on this learning.
