At Little Green we believe regular supportive and developmental Learning Walks collaboratively discussed are a far more effective and therapeutic way of developing our incredible team of teachers and staff. The benefits are obvious:

• Regular updates on the quality of teaching and the school environment

• Teachers empowered to critically think about their own and others teaching strengths and opportunities for development

• Teams able to discuss and support each other in developing purpose filled learning driven by collaboration, choice, voice, challenge and connection

• Consistency and coverage

• Staff Wellbeing - no High stakes observations judging their practice in isolation

• See the article photo of someone (Ben Levinson OBE) following in our footsteps that gives some leadership justifications also: 

  • Humans are fundamentally good

  • Intrinsic Motivation

  • Good to talk

SO, it makes sense - what do we have to show you? We have three pages:

1. Teacher Learning Walks

2. SLT Learning Walks

3. Analysis

Intent: We will analyse the Learning Walk reflections of the teachers as well as the Senior leaderships' own moderating reflections:

Possibilities: 

1. They are in line and well evidenced - great the process is working well and we agree what good teaching looks like.

2. The teachers are more positive than the SLT or the SLT are more positive than the teachers:

Possibilities here:  

2. 1. 1. The teachers need extra support in identifying and evidencing good teaching.

      2. The SLT need extra support in identifying and evidencing good teaching

Either way, a conversation and an opportunity for development has been identified.
