The global expansion of education is one of the greatest successes of the modern era. More children have access to schooling and leave with higher levels of learning than at any time in history. However, 250 million+ children in developing countries are still not in school, and 600 million+ attend but get little out of it – a situation further exacerbated by the dislocations from COVID-19. In a context where education funding is stagnating and even declining, Arran Hamilton and John Hattie suggest that we need to start thinking Lean and explicitly look for ways of unlocking more from less. Drawing on data from 900+ systematic reviews of 53,000+ research studies – from the perspective of efficiency of impact – they controversially suggest that for low- and middle-income countries: This groundbreaking and thought-provoking work also identifies a range of initiatives that are worth starting. It introduces the Leaning to G.O.L.D. methodology to support school and system leaders in selecting, implementing, and scaling those high-probability initiatives; and to rigorously de-implement those to be stopped. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in education.

The encounter -- Does educational data speak for itself? -- Is learning a visible phenomenon? -- Is it important to teach and learn specific subjects? -- How not to objectify the students and pupils you are studying? -- What is the role of the teacher? -- What is the relationship between educational research and educational politics? -- Is it possible to revitalize the German concept Bildung, i.e. the formation of character and the higher ideas and ideals of education? -- How to differentiate between the how, what, and why of education -- Is there a purpose of education? -- Is it possible to understand pedagogy as an art of decentering? -- How to deal with neuroscience? -- How to deal with critique? -- If schools didn't exist - would we miss them? -- Why are we longing for predictability and security? -- The conversation stops but must continue.

In 2009, John Hattie's Visible Learning presented a comprehensive collection of research on effective educational practices, focusing on what truly enhances children's learning rather than on trends or political agendas. This bestseller was hailed by the TES as revealing education's 'holy grail.' In this latest work, Hattie collaborates with cognitive psychologist Greg Yates to expand on the original findings, integrating cognitive science to create a robust framework for classroom learning. The book outlines key principles and strategies, addressing the complexities of learning and offering insights for both teachers and students. It is structured in three parts: 'learning within classrooms,' 'learning foundations'—which delves into cognitive building blocks—and 'know thyself,' focusing on confidence and self-awareness. Interactive appendices include study guide questions, annotated bibliographies, and links to relevant resources. The authors draw on international research to explore various topics, such as teacher-student relationships, knowledge storage, cognitive load, self-control, and common myths about learning. This engaging guide serves as a valuable resource for students, teachers, and parents seeking to understand how research on learning can enhance educational practices across all levels, from preschool to tertiary education.

Dial back and make room for impact With teacher and leader workloads and burnout at an all-time high, it's time for de-implementation: de-prioritizing and deleting the less effective, higher-cost initiatives we implement in schools. De-implementation allows us to focus on practices that have more supporting evidence and a higher probability of positive impact on students, and at the same time to gain much-needed work-life balance. In Making Room for Impact, the internationally respected education experts and authors provide a clear four-stage process for winnowing down teaching and learning to high-effect practices. Informed by the latest research in learning, education, healthcare, and psychology, each step and tool is designed to move educators through the hard parts of letting go. Inside, you'll find: Research that tells us the process of schooling is often over-engineered and that gives us permission to dial back, carefully A step-by-step process for deciding which initiatives are most effective--and how to let go of the ones that are not Useful tools, templates, and charts that educators can immediately use in their de-implementation work--at school, in teaching teams, or at the system level It's time to get our lives back--without harming student learning. If we can collectively learn to let go and understand how to identify which initiatives are worthwhile, we'll have more time for what truly matters.

This book is based on one of the most important influences on student learning: teachers who believe that they can improve their students' achievements. Along with this, the book explores the notion that this powerful belief can also exist between students, enhancing their achievements but also preparing them for real world encounters and job demands.

Grounded in 15 years of research and over 800 meta-analyses, this book explores the critical influences on school-aged students' achievement. It highlights the pivotal roles of teachers and feedback while presenting a comprehensive model of learning. Drawing from data involving millions of students, it offers insights into various factors affecting education, including student and home environments, school dynamics, curricula, and teaching strategies. The concept of visible teaching and visible learning serves as the foundation for its innovative approach to improving educational outcomes.
