Aimed at new and existing WalkThrus Leads, you'll learn to navigate the WalkThrus materials with confidence, explore the core context and rationale behind the toolkit, think hard about how we learn and why students struggle, and much more! We’ll provide lots of practical training examples and offer guidance on implementing a WalkThrus-based programme in your own school or college. There’ll be opportunities for Q&A, so you can address the needs of your school.

The Big Classroom offers participants the opportunity to develop a range of practical teaching techniques; the highlights of all our training days with schools, packed into one day, led by Tom Sherrington and other members of the WalkThrus team.

Participants in the Big Classroom will experience 10-12 of the most impactful, high frequency techniques in the WalkThrus repertoire. Each technique will be modelled live in the room, establishing the rationale for each of the steps and the need for precision.

This will be followed by discussions about implementation, opportunities to practise with other participants and time to explore the use of our coaching process to engage in precise feedback conversations.

This is a great opportunity for new and existing coaches, or for those who are just getting started with instructional coaching, to learn about our WalkThrus coaching model and to develop their expertise as coaches and CPD leaders.

The programme will be led by Teaching WalkThrus Director of Education and instructional coaching specialist Matt Stone.

The popular programme is designed to support coaches who are already using, or who are planning to use, the WalkThrus toolkit to work with individual teachers, small groups or teams in their school or organisation.

Ideally, participants will attend in pairs per school or college (individual participants are welcome, but must be coaching a teacher or team at school). You'll need someone to coach in school for the purposes of the training.

Participants must complete all modules to gain accreditation.

You'll need to confirm your full commitment to the key dates, to inter-session activities, and to the accreditation process. You will need to ensure that you have the full support of your school before submitting the form.
