Effective Learning Walks – A guide for School Leaders

Learning walks are powerful tools for fostering development and improvement within schools. When used effectively, they can provide a snapshot of good classroom practice, evaluate a new school initiative, and offer a general overview of the school environment, offering valuable insights to teachers. But how can you ensure that learning walks have a real impact and don’t become just another educational fad?

In this session, Costa Constantiou and Linda Miller will explore what we can do to ensure learning walks are valuable for school leaders and teachers.

What are learning walks and their purpose (if you are not already familiar with this)
Key areas of focus during learning walks
Common pitfalls to avoid
Tips for maximising the value of learning walks
Whether you’re a school leader looking for further guidance on conducting meaningful learning walks or improving your current approach, this webinar will provide practical strategies for creating meaningful and developmental experiences.

Costa Costantinou

Costa Constantinou co-founded Veema in 2013 after a long teaching career in London. He is driven by his passionate belief in the transformative power of education to create opportunities. Growing up in a migrant family, Costa embraced the significance of schooling from an early age. Having been deprived of education, his parents instilled a deep appreciation for learning.

Costa understands firsthand the needs and priorities of schools today. He has led national and international keynotes and workshops on improving teaching and learning, school leadership, and implementing and managing effective change. Costa passionately advocates that professional development is a requisite tool for teachers to engage with pedagogy, offer collaborative working partnerships, challenge and advance existing practice. Taken together, these sharpen our ability to focus on how we teach and how pupils learn — a reflective approach that, at its core, sees learning through the eyes of the learner.

Veema’s professional development and school improvement programmes empower teachers and school leaders worldwide, fostering continuous learning for the benefit of their students.
