From time to time I share information from essential researchers in education and learning. Through this blog, in several earlier postings, I have shared information from John Hattie’s research. In this short blog post, I share images from Hattie’s findings and messages – these are good reminders and graphic representations about what his research is all about.

It’s also tied to our mission and beliefs in DPS109 and it’s part of the foundations upon which our professional development and summer preparations are based. With evidence showing us what works we can take our students to the highest levels of challenge and engagement in each and every subject each and every day. All students deserve opportunities to know that we educators believe in them and that we educators are “with it” and current about what works in education.

In previous blog posts I have shared findings from and information about John Hattie. Dr. Hattie is one of the best – perhaps the most influential educational researcher of our time. He and his teams of researchers have studied millions – yes, millions, of students focusing on the effects on their learning that teaching methods and other variables (acceleration, class size, feedback, etc.) have.
