chez29 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I have been asked to do Learning Walks in the settings as part of my monitoring. I was wondering if others do this and if you do what do you look for? Does any have a template they use to record down what they saw etc. If anyone has a template are you willing to share? Thank you in advance :-) Quote
finleysmaid Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 learning walk is not a phraseology I have come across before .....could you elucidate please! Quote
Foreveryoung Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I have not got a template but It's on my to do list to add to our reflective development plan, hope someone has a template as would be a good starting point instead of making my own. I like the idea of them in addition to peer one x Quote
Fredbear Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 If you google "learning walk templates" there are many examples. Looks interesting. Quote

Dolphins Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 TTS suppliers having clipboards which record what the children say as well as allowing them to record through marks. They would be great for learning walks. Quote
catma Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) learning walk is not a phraseology I have come across before .....could you elucidate please! It's rather like doing an observation, but instead of staying in one place you walk around the setting/school and focus on a particular theme, e,g, engagement of boys. Then once you have your evidence you can make an overall judgement about impact of environmnet, teaching etc. I like them because if something I am observing is clearly poor I can quickly move on!!

finleysmaid Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 thanks catma...when I googled it I got some interesting info on observing adults not children!!!! Quote
Panders Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 thanks catma...when I googled it I got some interesting info on observing adults not children!!!! Yes not what I was expecting either Finleysmaid! Then spent quite some time lost in pininterest - as much as I love it, I hate that it sucks me in each time like some kind of time warp 4 Quote
Cait Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I did something very similar whilst researching Mosaic observations for my Foundation Degree. Once you've done it, it's hard to go back to basic observations. Quote
catma Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I would also be looking at the effectiveness of the adults too!! Cx 1 Quote
