At the heart of WalkThrus is a selection of 150 evidence based teaching strategies rooted in a deep understanding of how learning works. Each WalkThru breaks teaching techniques down into five clear steps.
Teaching is complex. Training is difficult.
At Teacher WalkThrus we have developed an incredible and fully resourced toolkit with over 250 practical techniques for teachers, leaders and coaches.
We help you build great teaching, step by step.
A professional development programme built using WalkThrus is supported by:
1. Evidence from cognitive science which provides a clear model for learning
2. Evidence from the study of effective professional development
Through our books and materials, we draw on the work of prominent researchers and cognitive scientists including Dylan Wiliam, Barak Rosenshine, Dan Willingham, Graham Nuthall and Efrat Furst. Their ideas are summarised in our Why? Section WalkThrus.
The Learning Model informs all of our key teaching techniques and highlights the problems teachers need to spot and respond to in the classroom – such as lapses in attention, the limits of working memory, the need for deep thinking, and the importance of schema building and retrieval processes.
