Hattie's research has shown that the most effective teachers create classrooms that are:

Physically inviting. Students should feel comfortable and safe in their learning environment. This means having a classroom that is well-lit, clean, and organized.
Intellectually stimulating. The classroom should be filled with resources that encourage students to think critically and creatively. This includes books, games, and other materials that promote learning.
Socially supportive. Students need to feel like they belong in their classroom. This means having a teacher who is supportive and encouraging, and who creates a positive learning environment.

Hattie also provides teachers with specific strategies for improving their instruction. These strategies include:

Using effective questioning techniques. Teachers should ask questions that challenge students to think critically and creatively.
Providing feedback that is timely, specific, and actionable. Feedback should help students identify their strengths and weaknesses, and should provide them with guidance on how to improve.
Creating a positive learning environment. Teachers should create a classroom where students feel safe and respected.

The Look, Sound, and Feel of Effective Instruction is a must-read for all teachers who want to improve their practice. Hattie's research-based insights provide teachers with the tools they need to create effective learning environments that will help students succeed.
