Developing potentials for learning: Evidence, assessment, and progress

John Hattie

The University of Auckland, New Zealand

The session will overview a synthesis of over 600 meta-analyses of effects on achievement, highlighting the major themes that influence student learning.  From these themes, the presentation will demonstrate the development of an assessment model of student learning that has been available and extensively used in NZ elementary and high schools over the past 5 years. A particular theme of the assessment model has been methods for helping teachers see and understand student progress, enable them to set targets/high expectations, and provide feedback so that there are more aware of the importance of some of the key competencies that act as enhancers or barriers to learning.
