HPL philosophy can’t
just hope the kids will
‘get it’. Teaching needs
to be responsive (but
not reactive).

How to enhance student progress?
What makes the biggest
difference to student progress
other than what the teacher
does?
How often do personalised targets form
part of lesson planning?
Formative marking creates
personalised targets.

Exemplar Video Feedback Piece with
Aliisa Nummela
• Uses Rubrics that are integrated into
practice
• For a high-value piece of work
• Challenges higher-level thinking as well as
‘sleeping-mind’ mechanics.
Task: How to make quality video feedback?
• Produce the beginning of a video marking piece.
• Complete for your own subject, or use the exemplar English assessment here.
• Focus on one part – correct something for the student, and then extend with something that challenges or enhances a threshold concept (something that is fundamental to your subject).
• But first…

Video Feedback vs
Traditional Marking Aspirations
Common CritiquesNo-one minds marking, if the student gets
something from it.
You’ve got to the point of valuing marking,
and you have expertise in it… now what?
Learning is an inward process which
we judge by the outward events of
schoolwork and exams. Therefore, it
is a private process to which the
observer has no access.
Anderson, 2014 – from David
Didau
What is Liminality?
Difficulty in understanding threshold concepts may leave the learner in a state of ‘liminality’, a suspended state of partial understanding, or ‘stuck place’, in which understanding approximates to a kind of ‘mimicry’ or lack of authenticity.
Insights gained by learners as they cross thresholds can be exhilarating but might also be unsettling, requiring an uncomfortable shift in identity, or, paradoxically, a sense of loss.
A further complication might be the operation of an ‘underlying game’ which requires the learner to comprehend the often tacit games of enquiry or ways of thinking and practising inherent within specific disciplinary
Land, Meyer and Baillie (2010)
In short, there is no simple passage in
learning from ‘easy’ to ‘difficult’;
mastery of a threshold concept often
involves messy journeys back, forth
and across conceptual terrain.
Cousin (2006a)
