Visible Learning Philosophy
Based on the research of Professor John Hattie, Visible Learning emphasises educators always knowing the effect their teaching is having on student learning. In addition to learning the material, students come to understand how they learn and how to evaluate their own progress. Encouraging students to develop a love of learning, it also promotes quality feedback and celebrates excellence.
Students understand how to set goals, articulate their knowledge and move independently through their next learning steps. Successful learners use self-regulation strategies when assessing their own work, asking questions and actively seeking feedback.
For educators, teaching is evaluated in terms of its impact on student learning, enabling us to identify the attributes and strategies of teachers, students and leaders that have the greatest positive effect on student progress. The Visible Learning approach requires that we continuously gather, analyse, interpret and use information about each student’s progress and achievement to improve teaching and learning.
At Bunbury Catholic College we are committed to making Visible Learning part of our language and culture.
