John Hattie’s groundbreaking book Visible Learning synthesized the results of more than 15 years research involving millions of students and represented the biggest-ever collection of evidence-based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning.

- Comprehensively covers numerous areas of learning activity including pupil motivation, curriculum, metacognitive strategies, Behavior, teaching strategies and classroom management”. (Back Cover blurb, 2012)
