John Hattie draws on his visible learning research to respond to the question, “What can concerned parents do to ensure their children, of all ages, develop great learning habits which will help them achieve their maximum at school and in life?” Areas covered include:
· Communicating effectively with teachers
· Being the “first learner” and demonstrating openness to new ideas and thinking
· Choosing the right school for your child
· Promoting the “language of learning”
