Factors That Impact Learning and Achievement *In School Factors Culture and Climate Cultural Proficiency Low Expectations Access to Rigors Curriculum Lack of Resources Teacher Preparation Student interest and level of effort Access to Interventions, Remediation, and Acceleration *Out of School Factors Family Expectations and Participation Student Health Community Safety School Funding Social Economic Status Language Barriers Access to Social Services Access to Child Care and After School Program * This list represent merely a small sample of in school and out of school factors that impact learning and achievement.
Factors That Impact Learning and Achievement John Hattie s Visible Learning meta-analysis ranked the various influences related to learning and achievement within six core areas: Student Home School Curricula Teacher Teaching and Learning Approaches Research suggest that of all the factors that impact learning and achievement none has a greater impact than what happens between a teacher and student in school.
