Points on Hattie






Hattie is most famous for his sixteen points.
As well as his table of effect. Which discusses the effect his ideas. have when they are introduced into schools.


My view: For up and coming teachers Hattie's 16 points should be the most important and influential ideas/theories that are referred to. The idea of Feedback is sometimes overlooked by many teachers however, feedback should be made available for students and parents whenever they ask. From my experience at school i found that not enough feedback was given to myself or even to my parents. A simple 5 minute interview during parent teacher night isn't enough to discuss a students achievements over a 2 term period. Therefore in my opinion feedback should be given at least once a week Whether it be a discussion with the student or a phone call home to the parents. This will allow all parties to understand the level at which the student is at.
