Discussion question · 10 marks
Think about a specific project you have taught recently where student outcomes varied significantly. How can you redesign your feedback loop for that project to ensure that students across all ability levels are challenged to meet the assessment objectives, rather than just being told what to fix? Share a specific example of how you moved from 'directive' feedback to 'reflective' questioning, and explain how this shift influenced the student's subsequent creative development and final marks.
