Great Learners by Design: Principles and Practices to Supercharge Learners

John Hattie

Supercharge learners and learning

Today's students need more than great teaching of the curricula; they must also be taught the love and strategies of learning. It's time for a balanced approach that teaches students how to access and process information and inspires a desire for continuous learning.

Written by renowned researchers and educators, Great Learners by Design advocates moving away from rote learning and teacher-centric classrooms. Instead, it promotes cultivating self-sufficient, strategic, and visible learners through effective learning strategies. This approach helps foster a learning environment where mistakes are seen not as embarrassments but as opportunities for growth. Inside, you'll discover

  • New and traditional learning theories and how to implement them in the classroom
  • 12 learning strategies and 13 learning principles that will transform your class and school into an organization dedicated to excellence
  • How to use and integrate tools for measuring learning

With the goal of creating lifelong learners, Great Learners by Design offers an in-depth analysis of learning theories, practical classroom applications, and tools. It is a vital resource for enhancing students' skills and encouraging them to use optimal strategies to succeed both in the classroom and beyond.
