WHAT WORKS BEST?

In Visible Learning, John Hattie has moved away from the 'What Works and What Doesn't' to look at which strategies work really well, and which have such a marginal effect that it is not worth the bother?


That is the critical question. Here is part of the answer!

So again it's feedback that really makes the difference alongside what the student brings and the quality of teaching!
