Using video as part of CPD

CPD
The impact of video feedback on teacher-led CPD in Ross Newman‘s schools has been notable. Here, he explains how video feedback was implemented and offers some tips for other schools

He argued that teachers needed real feedback from a range of peers and the opportunity to be able to learn from the best. Mr Gates used the term “real” to describe developmental feedback that is not linked to an accountability system.

As an experienced headteacher who had recently moved to a new school on a journey of rapid improvement, this inspired me to review how we gave teachers feedback. Until this point, I had not considered video-based professional learning. I gave it a lot more thought, did some more research and after a couple of small trials I was sold on the idea that we could use video as a powerful tool to develop practice.
