John Hattie is the ‘go to guru’ of evidence-based education. He that the best teachers are passionate people, who master their subject and pedagogical approaches. They love what they teach, they love being a teacher, and they love the challenge of helping each of their students learn. But what makes the difference between a good teacher and an excellent teacher? Between a good practitioner and a great one? You cannot be a great teacher without a passion for helping kids learn. Great teachers help students move from surface knowledge to deeper levels of understanding. They connect new knowledge to students’ prior knowledge, including knowledge from other curriculum areas, and they offer individualized suggestions to help each of their students improve.

In this Masterclass, John Hattie will discuss the attributes that make a teacher great.
