ABSTRACT
Visible Learning offers important help with the inquiry by providing core messages that can shake up and question our own classroom teaching and actions. The most important core message in this context is this: see mistakes as opportunities and dare to make a change. In an intensive exchange process, the teaching staff agreed to make central factors of successful teaching with the help of visible word cards in the classroom and to focus on them again and again. Make learning visible, create challenges, and enable self-commitment, trust, appropriate expectations, and conceptual understanding. The teacher’s mindframes are one of the most important factors for Visible Learning and successful learning. Learning intentions and success criteria are two sides of the same coin and are mutually dependent on each other regarding their effect. The explication of the one criterion is, therefore, worthwhile especially when the other criterion is also made visible.
