Visible Learning ... Mind Frames


Improving Practice through Mind-Frames

John Hattie's mind frames have supported me in unpacking my beliefs I hold as a teacher and a leader.

John Hattie believes “that teachers and school leaders who develop these ways of thinking are more likely to have major impacts on student learning.

The presentation below is how I see myself as a teacher, leader and coach.

DFI / My Nine Week Digital Journey

 Friday 1 March saw me leap onto a new and exciting digital learning journey provided by and supported by Manaiakalani. I am aiming to sit the Google Level One exam at the end of this nine week journey so to have my newly gained skills recognised!



This 9 week programme has been designed to meet these four key goals within a professional learning group.


  1. Our teachers are supported to acquire fluency using the basic tools our young people use for learning
  2. Our teachers are supported to acquire fluency using the basic tools required for effective teaching, planning, assessment and professional learning
  3. Our teachers are supported to understand how digital technologies used effectively can have a significant impact on accelerating achievement outcomes
  4. Our teachers are supported to understand how the Manaiakalani pedagogy and kaupapa has been co-constructed over more than a decade to maximise the impact of effective teaching and learning in a digital learning environment.
Each week I will be focusing on these four key areas to reflect on the learning covered, introduced and acquired and how it will impact on me both professionally and personally!
