  31. 3 questions from Visible Learning Where am I going? How am I doing? Where do I go next?

  32. Where are we going? We need to know our impact Strategic decisions should be evidence-based Most innovations work but we can’t do them all (so which should we choose?)

  33. How am I going? What impact am I having? How does my school decide which direction to take? What percentage of recent innovations have made a significant difference?

  34. Where to next?.... • This is where YOU take over…

  36. One of the major messages from Visible Learning is the power of teachers learning from, and talking to, each other about planning and evaluating their teaching and learning

  37. Sharing a common understanding of progression is the most critical success factor in any school

  38. The co-planning of lessons has one of the highest likelihoods of making a marked positive difference on student learning

  39. Collaborative inquiry is among the most promising strategies for strengthening teaching and learning. The biggest risk, however, is not providing the necessary leadership and support. David, J. L., 2008/2009

  40. How many of your principals are grounded in: • What works to increase student performance? • Why these practices work? • How to help the people they work with to examine their own effectiveness on an ongoing way? • “Know Thy Impact”
