Visible Learning: The Research

The Visible Learning framework, constructed on the research of John Hattie, provides school-based teams with processes and tools to understand how their practices affect student learning. In this session, participants will hear about the most important messages from the Visible Learning research and understand what does and doesn’t make a significant difference in student achievement. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of what works in raising student achievement. They will also see how to work collaboratively to analyze school and student data while developing visible learners in their schools and districts. Kristin began her career as a high school English teacher for students who were kicked out of Denver Public Schools. Since then, she has worked in multiple K–12 settings in various instructional and administrative roles, and has obtained credentials and advanced degrees from Sterling College, Kansas, The University of Denver, and The University of Colorado, and is currently enrolled in a doctoral studies program in Educational Leadership and Organizational Culture and Change at The University of Southern California. “I have known Kristin my many years and continue to be impressed with her commitment to this work – you will see it in every minute of being with her.
