SUMMARY:Let’s Explore Effect Size with John Hattie: How We Impact Schools with Researched Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Hattie\, Professor\, Melbourne Graduate School of Education; Brendan Scribner\, Director of Implementation and Success\, Exemplars; and Jay Meadows\, CEO\, Exemplars \nSponsored by Exemplars \nWatch the RecordingListen to the Podcast \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \n“Featuring special guest speaker John Hattie.” \nEducators are managing challenging workloads and are susceptible to high rates of burnout. Join us as we examine practices that have a positive impact in schools. Professor John Hattie helps us lean into extensive research around how to de-implement practices that just aren’t effective\, and replace them with cost-effective\, high-yield moves to transform your classroom\, school\, and district. This edWebinar explores the following questions: \n\nWhat is effect size? How can effect size shape pedagogy?\nResearch suggests that the process of schooling is often overengineered. How does that give us permission to dial back\, carefully?\nWhat are some steps in the process for deciding which initiatives are most effective—and how do we let go of the ones that are not?\nHow can we offer useful tools\, templates\, and charts that educators can immediately use with de-implementation work at school\, in teaching teams\, or at the system level that improve student learning?\nIf you were starting a new school\, what practices would you suggest they lean into?\n\nThis edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nProfessor John Hattie of the University of Melbourne\, Australia\, has long researched performance indicators and evaluation in education. His research\, Visible Learning\, is the culmination of more than 25 years of examining and synthesizing more than 2\,100 meta-analyses comprising more than 132\,000 studies involving 300 million students around the world. \nProfessor Hattie wanted to understand which variables were the most important. Although “almost everything we do improves learning\,” why not prioritize the ones that will have the greatest effect? He set about calculating a score or “effect size” for each\, according to its bearing on student learning and taking into account such aspects as its cost to implement. The average effect size was 0.4\, a marker that represented a year’s growth per year of schooling for a student. Visible Learning+ professional learning enables schools and districts around the world to effectively implement the core findings of the Visible Learning research. \n \nBrendan Scribner\, Director of Implementation and Success for Exemplars\, began his career in education as a middle school math teacher in Vermont in 1998\, before spending the last 20 years as a fourth-grade classroom teacher in Hanover\, New Hampshire. He earned his master’s in the science of teaching mathematics from the Vermont Math Initiative. As a passionate classroom educator\, he strives to be a mathematical identity builder with a keen focus on learning experiences that cultivate wonder and joy and reveal the beauty of mathematics for all. Brendan supports educators at Exemplars\, with a strong commitment to building contextually relevant problem solving into established curricula. An area of particular importance in his work is the power of productive discourse and how “talk moves” within a classroom. When he is not immersed in his work as an educator\, he enjoys family time\, cycling\, hiking\, skiing\, leisure travel\, and crafting unique wood products. \n \nJay Meadows serves as Exemplars’ Chief Executive Officer. He is a former middle school math and science teacher and has been working in education for almost three decades. Jay holds a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Vermont and a master’s in mathematical pedagogy from Southern New Hampshire University. \nJay is also one of Exemplars’ primary performance task writers and professional development consultants for the middle level. Leading sessions throughout the United States\, Jay works with teachers to integrate performance tasks and research-based best practices into their curricula. Through Exemplars\, Jay dreams of teaching a generation of students to become powerful problem solvers. Prior to his career in education\, Jay coordinated delegations from the former Soviet Union through programs with the U.S. State Department. Jay has also worked alongside a number of international non-profits and is a former Peace Corps Volunteer. \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Creating a Positive School Climate community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n \nExemplars provides performance tasks\, rubrics\, and student anchor papers for schools and districts in Math\, Science\, and Writing.

Given the growing consensus that student success in school depends on holistic factors that contribute to their overall well-being\, how can practitioners\, policymakers\, school leaders\, and communities work together to fill in these longstanding gaps? \nThis edWebinar explores new and often-ignored strategies to reshape the future of special education support in schools. Presenters uncover a range of innovative approaches that have proven successful in addressing staff gaps while maintaining high-quality support for students’ diverse needs. This session delves into: \n\nRecent data on practitioner shortages in special education\nLessons learned from pandemic-era virtual instruction and hybrid service delivery\nStrategies to strengthen the practitioner pipeline\nTools that allow practitioners to save time\, manage caseload demands\, and facilitate connections with students\nPotential policy solutions to expand practitioners’ abilities to practice across the country\nFiscal solutions to expand schools’ abilities to pay for more students’ services\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to elementary through high school teachers\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Dan Florell is a Professor at Eastern Kentucky University and runs a private practice.
