Visible Learning: The Sequel: A Synthesis of Over 2,100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement

When the original Visible Learning® was published in 2008, it instantly became a publishing sensation. It sold out in days and was described by the TES as revealing "teaching’s Holy Grail". John Hattie returns to this ground-breaking work. The research underlying this book is now informed by more than 2,100 meta-analyses, drawn from more than 130,000 studies, and has involved more than 400 million students from all around the world.

This book is a sequel that highlights the major story, taking in the big picture to reflect on the implementation in schools of Visible Learning, how it has been understood and misunderstood, and what future directions research should take.

Visible Learning: The Sequel reiterates the author’s desire to move beyond claiming what works to what works best by asking crucial questions. Areas covered include:

• The evidence base and reactions to Visible Learning • The Visible Learning model • The intentional alignment of learning and teaching strategies • The influence of home, students, teachers, classrooms, schools, learning, and curriculum on achievement • The impact of technology

Building upon the success of the original, this highly anticipated sequel expands Hattie’s model of teaching and learning based on evidence of impact and is essential reading for anyone involved in the field of education, either as a researcher, teacher, student, school leader, teacher trainer, or policy maker.
