According to Hattie's findings, visible learning occurs when teachers see learning through the eyes of students and help them become their own teachers. Hattie found that the ten most effective influences relating to student achievement are:

#ACCoS1
My understanding has shifted hugely over this year as a result of my own professional inquiry and from being a part of the Teacher Agency COS Initiative.
I am now actively seeking out colleagues from other schools for observation and discussion of their teaching practices and programmes.
I have a clearer understanding of the expectation of a highly agentic teacher and what it entails. This motivates me to continue to develop my own teacher agency and further develop my practice to become more agentic.

Concluding thoughts
#ACCoS1
Learner Agency
5 Schools
Establishing a common understanding
“Learners have agency when they have influence and a sense of ownership over their learning, having the ability and opportunity to be part of the learning design process”

Where did we begin?

#ACCoS1
Has the initiative enhanced the learning process?
“I can choose one of the things I don’t know from the ladder. Those are the things I need to work on. If I do a knowledge card and I get two wrong, I know I need to get them all right to move on. In a test, if there are some (questions) I don’t know or are interesting, I can choose that.”
