Visible Learning

It is taken for granted that students learn from their experiences during education from staff. However, at Washington State University staff learn from their students.

Staff learned that students are:

INNOVATIVE in their use of technology, doing much to help us understand the power and potential of new tools.

RESOURCEFUL in their strategies to use academic work to understand their communities and the world.

RIGOROUS in tracking their own learning progress.

SAVVY at recognizing great learning opportunities beyond the classroom.

PERCEPTIVE in their use of peer feedback as a critical resource for deepening their learning.

CREATIVE in selecting strong data and evidence in unexpected areas to understand and explain their own academic growth.

This clearly shows that students are more than capable of reflective learning, and producing some very positive output.
