The authors provide an introduction into the “Visible Learning Story” — meta analyses of research reports on what works in education. They combine the power and authority of the research with the real experience of schools to inform ideas for practice. One interesting finding that is detailed in the book is that structures, framework conditions, and curricular programs do not have much effect by themselves. Teachers and their passion is what really matters.
