Visible Learning+ Practice Series
What works best and when—for literacy and mathematics
It’s not enough to know what strategies work best, it’s knowing when to put those strategies into practice to maximize students’ ownership of learning that matters. When classroom experiences are intentionally designed to meet each learner’s needs, you can maximize student learning and achievement.
During the Practice Series professional learning sessions (now offered virtually!), teachers will discover strategies that build conceptual understanding of mathematical or literacy ideas and learn to design classroom experiences that hit the surface, deep, and transfer phases of learning for immediate impact in the classroom.
When Do I Take the Practice Series?
You can choose to take Visible Learning for Literacy or Visible Learning for Mathematics to see immediate impact in your classroom before, during, or after the School Impact Process.
Professional learning sessions (also offered virtually)
Visible Learning for Mathematics
Introduction to Visible Learning for Mathematics
Explore the three phases of learning and the role of learning intentions and success criteria.
Surface Learning in Mathematics
Focus on practical classroom strategies that set the stage for deeper learning.
Deep Learning in Mathematics
Examine exercises that promote deeper learning so students begin to make generalizations and connections.
Transfer Learning in Mathematics
Learn the conditions needed for transfer so students use their understanding of mathematics to solve problems in new contexts.
Visible Learning for Literacy
Introduction to Visible Learning for Literacy
Explore the three phases of learning and what works best for student literacy learning.
Determining Impact in Literacy
Explore the importance of effect sizes, how to calculate your own effect size, and build collective teacher efficacy through a literacy lens.
Surface Learning in Literacy
Focus on practical classroom strategies that set the stage for deeper learning.
Deep Learning in Literacy
Examine exercises that promote deeper learning so students begin to make generalizations and connections.
Transfer Learning in Literacy
Learn the paths and conditions for transfer so students learn to organize and transform conceptual knowledge.
Practice Series Outcomes
Students’ literacy and mathematics learning and achievement is accelerated through improved problem-solving and conceptual understanding skills.
