Hattie’s 10 mind frames

6. The Keys to successful Video
Establish trust:
My behaviors must match habits- Be authentic, Video myself, Communication is the key, Safe environment with snacks, Non judgmental, Open ended questions and listen, Take notes and Have a connection: Empathy
Concentrate on the most important areas of improvement:
Academics, Transitions (Instructional vs non instructional), Behavior (time in task), Engagement (Authentic or compliant) and Build on strengths

7. The Keys to successful Video
Use of feedback:
Feedback isn’t praise, it’s information to help reach a goal. If teachers know it’s a safe place, they are more likely to use it. The video doesn’t lie, use that tool for immediate feedback. Teachers must have say in their goal and target, otherwise it’s just someone telling them what to do.
Hattie’s 10 mind frames:
My fundamental task is to evaluate the effect of my teaching on students’ learning and achievement.
The success and failure of my students’ learning is about what I do or don’t do. I am a change agent.
I want to talk more about learning than teaching.
Assessment is about my impact.
I teach through dialogue not monologue.
I enjoy the challenge and never retreat to “doing my best”.
It’s my role to develop positive relationships in class and staffrooms.
I inform all about the language of learning.
I recognize that learning is hard work.
I collaborate.
