Wave 1 - Learning Walks 2 Summary

Tips and recommendations from Ed Elements on how to use the learning walk summaries!

School Level Summaries:
- Highlights: Celebrate the great things we saw and take an opportunity to have your teachers share more.
- Trends: Consider the trends we saw. Where are these on the Core Four Progressions? How might you build on these strengths?
- Questions to Consider: These might be guiding questions for your PL team in planning support. You may also pose these questions during staff PD as a design challenge.
- Next Steps for Teachers: You may take some time as a PL team to browse through these resources and think about the best way to share these resources in bits and pieces. Maybe choose one resource to be the topic of a staff PD.
District Level Summaries:
- Browse through other school reports. You can certainly gather some great ideas from each other!
- Consider where there might be an opportunity for cross-school collaboration. Reach out and see how you can work together!

KPBSD PL Learning Walks 2

April 10-11, 2018

On April 10-11, 2018, three members of the Ed Elements team visited the nine schools in Wave 1 alongside teachers, administrators, and district leaders. The purpose of these visits involved walking through classrooms, talking with teachers, and supporting further steps to personalize learning for students. We used a common walkthrough tool on these visits to identify Core Four practices in classrooms. As has been the case throughout our work with Wave 1 Schools, teachers are generally eager to find new and better ways to improve student learning. The “Learning Walks Summaries by School” above provide a deeper account of these learning walks as well as potential next steps for school teams.
