Edssential article from @leadinglearner:
The summer always provides a welcome break and a some time for reading. Apart from a bit of light reading I’ve enjoyed Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Dan & Chip Heath, Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo and Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. The book currently open on my electronic reading device (no advertising here) is Visible Learning and the Science of How We Learn by John Hattie and Gregory Yates (2014). I’m probably a bit late to this and will have missed all the reviews in the blogosphere. It was released earlier this year and has sat, as a download, waiting to be opened for a number of months. The book builds on the two previous books by John Hattie: Visible Learning (2009) and Visible Learning for Teachers (2012) which emphasised, “Know Thy Impact”.
