review 1: This is dense, but worthwhile. Overall, Hattie does a good job of explaining the statistics, but I had to do some extra research to understand what some of the effects would actually look like in the classroom. Hattie's reasoning is clear, so his analysis comes across as balanced and firmly grounded in the research. If you're allergic to stats, the take-home messages are summed up in 'six signposts' on pages 238-239.
review 2: The statistics and research in this book are fascinating. The major shortfall in this book is the lack of elaboration on the #1 rated correlation with achievement...."self-reported grades." I did some more research to figure out what self reported grades are because Hattie didn't give much of an explanation. I now have my own ideas about... more what this is and why it is important. I just think it would have been great to elaborate on the top ten a little more than he did. less
