Assessment data does give us valuable information about our students’ progress, but it should also be instrumental in shaping our instruction. Mind Frame #4 – Teachers see assessment as feedback about their impact.Įffective teachers are masters at being adaptive and are willing to try and try again to find ways to reach students and maximize their learning. He has found that there are specific mind frames that empower us as educators to maximize our impact on learning. John Hattie shows how powerful the mind frames of learning really are. Who are we reaching and who are we not reaching? What are we doing well and what not so well? How are we impacting our students’ learning? Our schools are streaming with data, but are we using the information effectively? Of course assessment information is about the child, but it is also a tool to help us as teachers see how we are doing. We view the outcome as a measure of how the child is progressing. Typically we are asked to assess students and analyze how well they have done on a particular task. “ We should focus on the greatest source of variance that can make the difference – the teacher.” – John Hattie
