Biography
John Hattie is Professor of Education and Director of the Visible Learning Labs, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
"It is perhaps education's equivalent to the search for the Holy Grail - or the answer to life, the universe and everything." --Times Educational Supplement, November 21, 2008
"Visible Learning is the definitive book on sorting out the effectiveness of teaching strategies — a must read for those who want to improve teaching and learning."--Michael Fullan, May 2009"John Hattie’s Visible Learning is a splendid book for educators and scholars…Education researchers have steadily accumulated many findings, which have been synthesized during the last few decades. Hattie must have engaged in a huge effort to bring these syntheses together in this book, but enables its readers to plan new research as well as educational practice."--Herbert J. Walberg, Education Review, September 2009
