Hattie strongly believes in the Outcomes Based Education (OBE) model and feels that teachers should be held accountable if they are unable to get their students to accomplish the outcomes established by the board of studies. [http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/teacher-bonuses-you-do-the-maths/2007/02/23/1171734021135.html] According to Hattie, student feedback is essential for student learning. It should have positive reinforcement, a comment on how to further improve and should be meaningful. It’s useless giving limited and brief feedback such as “good job”. Feedback should be detailed and informative, provide positive criticism, and should clearly outline how a student can further improve. Whenever possible, finish feedback on a positive note, pointing out the positives of the assignment. For example “excellent essay with some well researched arguments, however, I felt that you could have elaborated further on such and such to better support your claims. Overall, it was an informative and enjoyable essay that well structured. Finally, Hattie identified 5 main characteristics that he thought distinguished expert teachers from experienced teachers. Expert teachers can: identify essential representations of their subject, guide learning through classroom interaction, monitor learning and provide positive meaningful feedback.
