<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello SIM Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Today, two interesting articles hit our desks. In the first, Robert Slavin posted an article entitled,
<i>John Hattie is Wrong.</i> In the second, John Hattie responded to Slavin’s remarks with an article entitled,
<i>Clearing the Lens, Addressing the Criticisms of the Visible Learning Research.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We placed the two following posts on our Facebook page. If you have time, both articles are interesting reads and worth considerable discussion. Frankly, discussion among educators about implementing evidence-based
practices is music to our ears. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Enjoy the reads!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Post 1. June 25, 2018: This is the first of two posts that I will share here. In this post, John Hattie, who was one of our keynote speakers last summer, is criticized for his methodology. BUT PLEASE READ
THE NEXT POST AS WELL, which is his reply to the statements made here. Frankly, we appreciate both research groups addressed in these posts and relish the healthy conversation that these stir up. Discussion that focuses on which evidence-based practices to
implement is a welcome conversation. <br>
