MAKE POSITIVE IMPACTS IN

YOUR CLASSROOM USING

Hattie's Effect Sizes
1. Familiarize yourself
with the top Effect Sizes
Take a look at Hattie's Ranking here. You will
quickly see some surprises. Using strategies
with higher effect sizes can counterbalance
some of the negative effects that are in motion,
such as Boredom, Summer Breaks, or Corporal
Punishment being used at home.

2. Decide which Effects

are in motion
What is happening in your school? Where
is all the effort going? Our School puts a
lot of effort into PowerPoint. But notice
it's effect size of .26. Using Jigsaw
activities can be used to deliver content
instead, with an effecti size of 1.2.

3. Select easier Methods

to implement
After School Program Effect Size = .4
Self-Reported Grades (SRG)= 1.33
Which is easier and cheaper? Yes... SRG!!!
Our After School Programs have a positive impact,
but we can do much better by simply involving
students more with the grading. Let's use rubrics
for grades more and get students to evaluate
themselves first..

4. Work with your

fellow teachers
Collective Teacher Efficacy has an effect size of
1.57. It's the power of teachers working together
and believing they can effect positive change!
Higher effect sizes often overlap, for example
Video Recordings of Lessons (Micro-teaching) is
more likely to happen if teachers are helping each
other using Collective Teacher Efficacy.

5.What improvements can

we make now?!
Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE) is at the top
of the list. Let's each choose a strategy with
a high effect size at our school and research
it and share at our next meeting. This will use
the Jigsaw Method and help us work
towards CTE!.
