Though the book is not one about education, his formula of attention and intention is truly what the instructional process is about. The development of a clear learning plan for our students with steps of implementation is key to student success. John Hattie's research showed that paying attention; that is closely monitoring student progress, providing feedback, and possibly changing course based on the instructional outcomes has more impact on academic success than any other school factor.
Watching this masterful art of intentional planning and attentive implementation/ assessment in a classroom is a thing of beauty. Master teachers are able to anticipate the misconceptions when teaching standards and have already developed a plan to address those pitfalls. They have developed a clear plan to differentiate the lesson so students with different learning needs are able to access the curriculum in spite of those needs. They have planned for multiple check points to determine the level of understanding and built in plans for helping students who do not understand. Though all of these steps are difficult master teachers are able to do these like a painter with a paint brush to create a masterpiece.
Making this happen is tough. In fact it is almost impossible without the help of a strong team. Thank you for your teamwork, your willingness to pick up your paint brushes everyday, and your willingness to support each other.
