Hi everyone... just regarding the VL leadership team meeting. Can you please advise what standard items you would like to be on the agenda?
thanks
Kats :)
HI Everyone
Kats and I are trialling a way that the five of us can communicate so we can have a discussion on a specific topic or a viariety of topics while we are dispersed around the globe. Kats is currently sending out a wiki about what the standard agenda items should be for our monthly meetings - while a wiki could be used for us to have less formal conversations.
Morning everyone!
Recent in the news hub, an interview with principal Sheryl Ofner on Radio Live where she talks about how the work of John Hattie and Visible Learning has transformed her school in Auckland, NZ.
Find the link to the interview here:

Revisiting a topic that Deb broached recently - staff meetings can take up a lot of time so it makes sense to work out how to get the most out of them!
I had a wee look around the Internet and found an article which suggests:
Just posted this in the News section here - Chris Pyne is keen to overhaul the Australian curriculum with "our Asian competitors" in mind.
I'm not so sure that curriculum is the most important driver when it comes to the job market, even on an international scale. Plenty of careers require more than a history of top marks.
What are some good methods to teach metacognitive skills to 6th graders and how can you measure it during the year?
Hi
I am visiting Brisbane and Melbourne in August on a Travel Award - the aim is to visit schools and talk to leaders about best practice for Visible learning and implementing whole school change around pedagogy. I would really like some recommendations from this community about the best people and schools to contact.

The meta-analyses present a global perspective on what are and what are not key influences on achievement. The data is based on many millions of students from around the world. For further detail on these please refer to the meta-analyses in Appendix A for the research overview.
The data used about teacher credibility, teacher-student relations, feedback and other factors of influence in John Hattie’s research is a culmination of 800+ meta-analyses where the underlying studies have been converted to a common measure (effect size). The underlying studies (over 50000+) have used a variety of methods which include qualitative methods.
