Every once in a while a book comes around for educators that everyone from administrators to parents need to own. This book which is truly the best book that I have encountered in years is “Visible Learning, A Synthesis of Over 800 Meta-analyses Relating to Achievement” by John Hattie. The Times Educational Supplement says, “It reveals teaching’s Holy Grail.” This book takes nearly every study done on achievement and compiles them. It then gives the reader an analysis of how effective each practice is. Each practice is given a rating from -0.2 (reverse effects) to 1.2 (desired effect.)
