2017 World Educational Leaders Summit - Powerful Mind Frames for Maximising Impact - Deb Masters

Powerful Mind Frames for Maximising Impact


In his book "Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximising impact on learning (2012)". John identifies nine mindframes that he considers are fundamental in the way we think about our roles as educators. In 2014 a tenth mindframe was added – ‘We Collaborate’. This mindframes was based on the research of Rachel Eells who researched the area of collective teacher efficacy.
All TEN mindframes underpin the ways that we operate and the actions that follow from the beliefs that we hold.
This keynote will explore all ten mindframes and how they are the key to deep changes in our schools.
The What  ... the research based on student achievement …
The average is a 0.4 effect size  - Enhanced effect size is 1.0
What does not really seem to matter?
  • Not who teachers are or NECESSARILY what they do
  • Not subject matter
  • Not teacher education
  • Class size 0.21  ie a less an average teacher will still be a less than average teacher
  • Not student control over learning
  • Not autonomy to schools
  • Not really money/finances
  • Ability grouping 0.12
  • Multi-grade classes 0.04
  • Not the structure of classrooms - open vs traditional spaces 0.01
It’s not the attributes of the students
It’s not who the teachers are
It’s not many ‘deep’ programmes   INQUIRY is good when based on SURFACE level knowledge first.
It’s not the Technology (yet)  When using Tech to produce or make something it has more impact.
It’s not homework  How to make Homework useful?  Make it brief.  Make it relevant to something during the day.   Mark it.
It is about:
Teachers collective impact
Collective teacher efficacy 1.57 Ongoing formative evaluation being provided to teachers about their teaching 0.90  Micro teaching 0.88
Teachers knowing student prior knowledge
Emphasising success criteria  Cognitive task analysis Teacher clarity Direct instruction  Worked examples and models
Feedback 0.75 Teacher credibility 0.90 Teacher-student relationships 0.72  Classroom management 0.68
Deep on top of surface teaching
metacognitive strategies, vocab programmes, creativity programmes, problem solving teaching,
High levels of challenge    
Acceleration 0.68  Outdoor/Adventure programmes 0.52  Goals 0.50
The how … the Mindframes
1  Visible Learner
2  Know the Impact
3  Inspired and Passionate teachers
4  Feedback
5  Aligned systems and procedures
In summary, these are the 10 things we want our teachers to collectively believe
I am an evaluator I constantly evaluate my impact
I am a change agent - I need to find strategies that work
It is about learning not teaching
I see assessment as feedback to me (what can I do differently to change
I engage in dialogue, not monologue (interactive, not teacher talking)
I enjoy challenge
I develop positive relationships .. so that errors can be opportunities to learn
I inform all about the language of learning
I see learning as hard work
I collaborate

Mana Enhancement Project - PD led by Steve and James

Mana Enhancement Model A tool for Positive Behaviour Management Uses narrative and stories of Māori creation to understand the student's mana and to feed into the strengths of students.   Maui is a key figure.  Mana is central in the model. See more information below about Mana Enhancement from Steve's slideshow Papatuanuku (earth mother) - what nurtures, calms, sustains us When asking the children about the aspects of papatuanuku, listen without judgement. Ranginui (sky father) - how we respond to life's challenges My reflections - This is a useful model to help students better understand their own emotions and how to self regulate.  How could this be part of our wellbeing model and be utilised within our existing pastoral care model.    One on one mentoring with key students - using the model to support students with their individual behaviour goals. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o-aC1IideJtMCVXTbokYBtMfCQR3pbbhWhpTOpWzhb0...
