• Understand strengths and weaknesses of your teaching based on mind frames

Success Criteria

• Be able to explain the similarities/differences between teaching and learning
• Explain how Hattie's mind frames help shift focus from teaching to learning and make all stakeholders responsible for both
• Share your plan for improving student learning based on one of the mind frames

Teaching vs. learning

• Define
• Similarities?
• Differences?
• Actions associated with each?
• Attitudes about each?
• Difficulty of each?

MIND FRAMES

• "The major argument...underlying powerful impacts in our schools relates to how we think! It is a set of MIND FRAMES that underpin our every action and decision in a school! --John Hattie

talking is encouraged

• Read and explain your understanding of each mind frame.
• Rank your strengths and weaknesses
• Rank our school's strengths and weaknesses
• Share with your table
• Be prepared to share with large group

Evidence of learning

• Pick up two pieces of colored paper. Write your last name (with first initial if necessary) on both.
• Place a + sign on one and a - on the other.
• Place the + under the mind frame that is your strength; place the - under the mind frame where you want to improve. Discuss with your department.
• One person from each subject be prepared to share.
• This will guide our learning as we move forward with our work with VL.
• Once all departments have shared and placed 'thoughts' under mind frames, we will dismiss!
