"Professor John Hattie and Raymond Smith will introduce mindframes that ensure that leaders at every level can select, implement, and evaluate high-impact interventions that result in systemwide success."

This is a great webinar for division leadership, school based administrators (principals) and triads (school leadership teams).

These high impact mindframes include:
*being an evaluator of my impact on teacher learning
*seeing assessment as informing impact and next steps
*collaborating about progress and impact
*being a change agent and believing all teachers can improve
*strive for challenge
*work with feedback - both giving it and ensuring it's understood by teachers, and also accepting and acting on it when given
*engaging in dialogue
*explicitly informing teachers what success looks like
*build relationships and trust; it's safe to make mistakes and learn from others
*focus on learning

It enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version.
