Diving into data
Today we focus on Visible The Game of SchoolWhat are the things that can make the biggest difference in making shifts in students learning?
- Having learning Visible
- Feedback and feedforward (very powerful). Not only in writing but verbally.
- Opening it up to parents.
- Giving students the opportunity to track their learning.
- Learning intentions. Students will not know what is important and what they need to do well if we don't deliberately tell them. You can not over display what is coming.
School is like a game, and if you know how to play it, you will be successful.

Google Forms
Something new I learned is that you can use Forms for assessment by shuffling the question order.
Something amazing to do at the start of the year is to complete a Google Form, including a photo of each child and where they are from. Then pull that form through to Google Maps and it can jot down on the world map where we are from.
Google Sheets: (One of my favourite Google Apps)
What's new:
Importing names from your master sheet instead of retyping or copying every time.
What an easy way to graph your reading recovery data. Very easy to keep track of students' progress with a sparkline.
Conditional Formatting can highlight areas that are incomplete or above or below.

I missed seeing this SUMMARY OF JOHN HATTIES BOOK VISIBLE LEARNING FOR TEACHERS if it was for everyone in the session! If not an excellent link thanks, it is clear and thought provoking. Especially the TEACHERS MINDFRAMES: It is critical that teachers see themselves as evaluators of their effects on students and develop a mind frame in which they see it as their primary role to evaluate their effect on learning. Looking at teaching as being organic and constantly shifting depending on the cohort and how teaching is landing for them.
