About this Event

The WalkThrus Big Classroom | Devon

Hosted by South Devon College


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.
