What is Visible Learning (VL)?

Visible Learning+ is the only school improvement programme developed by Professor John Hattie and is available in the UK exclusively through Osiris.

The programme is an in-depth system-wide change model of professional learning and development. It is based on Professor John Hattie’s ground-breaking research into what actually works best in schools to improve learning and progress.

Visible Learning+ has been designed for school leaders and teachers who are seeking to embed the latest research into how to further understand, evaluate and maximise impact on learning. The programme is based upon the premise that every student should experience at least one year’s growth over the course of one school year.

Completed over three years, Visible Learning+ consists of a series of workshops and evaluations that provide school leaders and teachers the knowledge and tools to engage with Professor John Hattie’s research and use evidence to evaluate instructional decisions.

The Outcomes of Visible Learning

Why VL is perfect for your school

The Visible Learning+ Whole School Programme will transform your organisation, accelerating the process of individual and whole-school change. 

It does this by building the capacity of:

  • Learners to learn
  • Teachers to teach
  • Leaders to lead
  • Systems to improve

So what’s different about Visible Learning+?

For Leaders

  • Visible Learning+ focusses on diagnosis, intervention, implementation and evaluation
  • A practical inquiry model for school leaders to ask questions of themselves about the impact they are having on student achievement
  • Aligns systems and processes
  • Uses evidence so leaders can lead learning confidently
  • Strengthens evaluation and impact

For Teachers

  • Visible Learning+ shifts the focus from teaching to pupil learning
  • Impact data informs classroom practice at all stages
  • Professional inquiry ensures high impact strategies are implemented
  • Feedback to teachers on where to focus next is based upon pupil learning outcomes

For Learners

  • Become assessment-capable, so that they can answer the three big questions: Where am I going? How am I doing? Where to next?
  • They develop an understanding of the learning process and strategies so that they ‘know what to do, when they don’t know what to do’
  • Their thirst for learning increases as they are equipped to embrace challenges, learn from error, seek feedback and have ownership of the learning process

Case Studies

Visible Learning Plus has been implemented in 1000s of schools around the world.  This includes success stories all across the UK, take a look at the map to see all the schools in the UK who have already implemented Visible Learning.  If you click on a school, you can see the full case study.

We needed a vehicle or framework to explore, harness and develop best practice for both pupils’ learning and teachers’ teaching. After embedding Visible Learning practices and processes, pupils are now very articulate about their learning, how they learn and what is effective, while teachers are clear about the terminology and use of learning tools, including success criteria.
Durdan’s Park Primary School, London
Although our school was improving its outcomes, it lacked a coherent approach to teaching and learning. We had tried a number of different initiatives but they were rather piecemeal and weren’t embedded across the school. The evidence of Visible Learning is clear – results have continued to improve and our school has climbed from outside the top 10 up to second out of over 50 schools in Staffordshire for GCSE progress. The great thing about our journey is that we never arrive! It is ongoing because as we continue to evaluate our practice we can continually see ways to improve further, by always seeking to develop what works best, rather than simply what works.
Wolgarston High School
Our desire was to make sure that we supported and challenged our pupils to achieve the best possible outcomes. Visible Learning has resulted in definite signs of improvement. Learning dispositions are becoming embedded in the everyday language that the pupils use. Visitors to the school have commented on the language used and pupils, when questioned, are able to articulate their dispositions.

Wolgarston-high-schoolWolgarston High School started their Visible Learning journey in 2014 when they identified a need to strengthen pupil outcomes, leadership and whole-school focus. Their journey focused deeply on the use of robust evidence to inform their work at every level and supported them in shifting their focus from teaching to learning. Learner autonomy improved significantly as they embedded highly effective strategies for feedback and supported students in developing a language for thinking through SOLO Taxonomy.

St hugh's school logoSt Hugh’s School were eager to deepen their understanding of their impact they were having on pupil achievement as well as build the capacity of learners to drive their own learning. Their highly successful Visible Learning journey focused on the development of learning dispositions so that pupils had high clarity around how to be effective learners and structured systems for teacher to assess and track progress. Each of these focus areas were successfully developed ensuring they achieved their aspiration of supporting and challenging all pupils effectively.

An Daras Multi-Academy Trust began their Visible Learning journey in 2016, becoming an accredited Visible Learning Partner School in 2019. Successfully implementing VL across the whole MAT, An Daras is one of Visible Learning’s biggest success stories. With a focus on Assessment Capable Learners, the pupils across the An Daras MAT now have a ‘can do’ attitude and are able to take ownership of their learning.

Durdan’s Park Primary School had historically been successful in driving improvements in teaching and learning but they were ambitious in their vision to strengthen it further. They embarked upon the Visible Learning programme in order to build upon their previous success and engage with improvements in a coherent way through the Visible Learning framework. They significantly improved the active engagement of their learners in the learning process, building assessment-capability with a highly positive impact on outcomes.
