Learning Walks is a collaborative peer coaching process to be modeled and experienced with teachers in partners, grade-level teams, content area teams, and/or leadership teams. The purpose of the process is to:
- Assist educators in staying focused on what matters most in inclusive learning environments, instructional practices, student interactions, and student engagement.
- Collect evidence of shared professional learning and collaboration over time.
- Graph the evidence (trend data) collected over time and use the evidence to identify strengths, needs, set priorities, and focus for professional learning in a school community.
