Resource in the Spotlight: Visible Learning for Literacy

2/3/2021

Why Visible Learning for Literacy?
​To ensure students demonstrate more than a year’s worth of learning during a school year.

In this post, we are featuring the book Visible Learning for Literacy: Implementing the Practices that Work Best to Accelerate Student Learning, which addresses this question and can be a source of support for teachers when designing curriculum and instruction. Learning more about this book by listening a podcast here.

Probably one of the most essential goals of all educators is to apply the evidence from educational research to their unique classroom contexts. However, this is not a simple endeavor. 

Essential Questions
1) What should teachers do when presented with a list of evidence-based practices from research studies?
2) How do we make thinking and learning "deeper" but still visible to students?
3) What strategies can be used to facilitate students' learning and decrease their cognitive load during that learning?

What are the key takeaways?

It is important to note that these takeaways are only starting points rather than end points of this book. For example, if most learning stops just at the surface level, what should teachers do? The authors offer elaboration that address this question.
