“Visible Learning is a deliberate mindset that shifts the focus from what teachers are teaching to what students are learning,” Professor John Hattie. Visible Learning occurs when we see learning through the eyes of our students and our students see themselves as their own teachers. This requires that we identify what works best in teaching and learning and then implement this in our classrooms. At Corwin, our vision is every student learning, not by chance, but by design. In our collaboration with Principals Academy, we look forward to partnering with you to help your school and staff make the greatest impact on teaching and learning. The Visible Learning+ School Impact Process (SIP) provides a long term, sustainable solution to improve student learning and achievement through a model of professional learning designed to put the research of Professor John Hattie into action school-wide. Over the course of the week, you will build foundational knowledge of making teaching, leading and learning visible and consider whether a School Impact Process might support long term impact on student learning for you and your teams. Each workshop aims to build understanding of the related research and provide practical examples and experiences to support your implementation of high impact strategies, processes and tools, aimed at developing Visible Learners who know where they are going, can activate learning dispositions, know how to monitor their progress, know what to do when they are challenged by their learning and are able to determine their next steps. The workshops explore how you can make learning visible by: • knowing where your learners are in their learning journey; • knowing what works best in teaching and learning; and • evaluating your impact on student learning.
These workshops are through live video with a Corwin consultant. Continue to build collaboration and discussion with your staff and move your Visible Learning implementation forward, under support of your consultant facilitating virtually. Participants will be provided with a resource guide to support their learning on the day, which are also a valuable resource to refer back to following the workshop.

Monday 31 May 2021 | Foundations of Visible Learning This workshop is the first in a series of professional learning opportunities built on the work of Professor John Hattie that seeks to build system-wide improvement. For so long in education, we seem to have been on the hunt for the next best thing. This research makes us stop and think about the vast amount we already know and evaluate what really does make the difference in student learning. At the core of today's learning is the narrative of the Visible Learning research, which has been distilled into five key strands. We will begin the day by providing background knowledge of the Visible Learning research, which seeks to investigate "what works best" in education. It is from this research base that we will then go deeper into each of the key Visible Learning strands that describe the themes uncovered in the research and what the research looks like in practice. We will then conclude the workshop by exploring the 10 Mindframes for Success. Learning Intentions We are learning to:

Tuesday 1 June 2021 | Developing Visible Learners
Our capacity to see learning through students' eyes and for students to see themselves as their own teacher is the mantra that underpins the key messages in the Visible Learning research and one that is strongly foundational to the design of this workshop. This workshop aims to develop an understanding of the four components of a Visible Learner and consider professional practices you can implement to develop Visible Learners. The Visible Learning research defines
Exploring insights from the research, making connections from theory to practice, and planning the next steps in developing Visible Learners are core to the professional learning experience of this workshop. Learning Intentions We are learning about:

Wednesday 2 June 2021 | Designing Learning using SOLO Taxonomy
This workshop has been designed to provide participants with an understanding of the SOLO Taxonomy and how it can be used to make learning visible to teachers and students. The acronym SOLO stands for the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes, and the model provides a systematic way of describing how a learner's performance grows in complexity when they are mastering any new learning. Participants will explore the research base that identifies the importance of students learning from the surface to deep to transfer and consider the implications for designing learning intentions and success criteria, prior knowledge tasks, assessments and learning experiences. Making learning visible will be central to the planning that comes from completing this course.

Thursday 3 June 2021 | Feedback That Makes Learning Visible Feedback is a powerful influence on student achievement; however, its effects are among the most variable. The evidence base shows that the type of feedback and the way it is given impacts its effectiveness. This workshop aims to provide a strong foundation to understanding the related research, develop clarity in what effective feedback is and for participants to develop knowledge and skills in giving, seeking, receiving and acting on effective feedback using an instructional model of feedback. This workshop invites you to consider the Visible Learning research about feedback and determine what it Learning Intentions We are learning to:

Friday 4 June 2021 | How Students Learn. High Impact Strategies The research-based Model of Learning, developed by John Hattie and Gregory Donoghue, forms the foundation for this workshop. This model describes the science of learning and implications for teaching and learning. During this workshop, you will consider how high impact learning strategies can be used to maximise impact so that learners develop the skill, the will and the thrill of learning and what strategies work best at the surface, deep and transfer phases of learning. Practical examples, insights and strategies to reflect on and use in your own practice is at the heart of this day.
