Comment from online masterclass "The Third Teacher Revisited" with Jessica Vance in 2025

Dr Sarah Rogans, St David's Marist, Inanda

Head of Academic Enrichment

 

"I had the opportunity to attend a Make Learning Visible Masterclass with Jessica Vance, and it genuinely shifted my thinking about what is happening in my classroom. Jessica is incredibly passionate about teaching and learning, but what struck me most is how practical her work is. The strategies she shared weren’t overwhelming or complicated.; they were small, manageable shifts  - the kind you can try the very next day.

 

I implemented a few of Jessica's ideas almost immediately, and the impact surprised me. My students became noticeably more engaged. More importantly, I felt like I could actually see their thinking in a way I hadn’t before. I had a clearer sense of what they truly understood and where the gaps were , which made my teaching more responsive and intentional. What I didn’t expect was how much these strategies would strengthen my relationships with my students. When you make thinking visible, you really start to understand how each learner is processing ideas,  and that changes the dynamic in powerful ways. If you’re looking for professional development that feels inspiring but also genuinely doable, I can highly recommend this masterclass. It’s had a meaningful impact on my practice."
