If the purpose of teaching is to have an impact on student growth, how do we foster, nurture, and sustain the beliefs that represent how we are to have an impact on student growth? And if our beliefs represent how we are to have an impact on student growth, what does this look like in our schools and classrooms? Learning and becoming a teacher is a deliberate choice and takes deliberate practice. This book will ensure that teachers new to the Visible Learning research are well-versed in what works best to impact student learning. The role of teacher expectations, teacher credibility, collective efficacy, and developing assessment-capable visible learners will serve as a platform for making an impact in their future schools and classrooms.
