Findings Help Inform Design andImplementation of High-Quality Feedback and Evaluation Systems PHOENIX (January 8, 2013) – The Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project, a three-year study designed to determine how to best identify and promote great teaching, today released its third and final research report.
The project has demonstrated that it is possible to identify great teaching by combining three types of measures: classroom observations, student surveys, and student achievement gains. The findings will be useful to school districts working to implement new development and evaluation systems for teachers. Such systems should not only identify great teaching, but also provide the feedback teachers need to improve their practice and serve as the basis for more targeted professional development.

Before you read this, you may want to watch my talk for researchEd home where I outline the major principles of Dual Coding Theory and its expression in the Multimedia Effect.
In due course I will publish some FAQs that I received. Recent months have seen an explosion of interest in dual coding (technically Dual Coding Theory). Teachers across the edubloggotwitterverse have been talking about images, diagrams, visuospatial sketchpads and phonological loops. Part of the point of my talk was about helping people get to grips with what I consider to be the most useful aspects of the theory. Part of the talk was also about heading off lethal mutations: about trying to stop good ideas turned weird, useless or actively harmful. What’s the deal with those infernal icons?

HOW TO ENGAGE IN PSEUDOSCIENCE WITH REAL DATA: A CRITICISM OF JOHN HATTIE’S ARGUMENTS IN VISIBLE LEARNING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A STATISTICIAN. How to engage in pseudoscience with real data: A criticism of John Hattie’s arguments in Visible Learning from the perspective of a statistician The work of John Hattie on education contains, seemingly, the most comprehensive synthesis of existing research in the field.
Many consider his book, Visible Learning (Hattie, 2008), to be a Bible or a Holy Grail: “When this work was published, certain commentators described it as the Holy Grail of education, which is without a doubt not too much of a hyperbole” (Baillargeon, 2014, para. 13). For those who are unaccustomed to dissecting numbers, such a synthesis does seem to represent a colossal and meticulous task, which in turn gives the impression of scientific validity.
For a statistician familiar with the scientific method, from the elaboration of research questions to the interpretation of analyses, appearances, however, are not sufficient. Clear Teacher Explanations 2f: Dual Coding Mistakes. As dual coding becomes more popular, its definition also expands.
This post intends to clarify the difference between dual coding and graphic design. The key idea is that aesthetically pleasing diagrams do not necessarily translate into better learning. If teachers invest time adding lots of diagrams to their resources with the mistaken belief that it adds value to learning, then I think ‘dual coding’ has morphed into something it shouldn’t have. I often see teachers make worksheets with the following dual-coding mistakes which, though well-intentioned, do not reap the intended benefits:
