Info: Tom Sherrington and Valentina David will explore the concept of Formative Action Loops, exploring how effective teaching depends on constantly creating cycles where teachers elicit evidence of learning, interpret, respond instructionally, and check for improved understanding. The session will unpack what these loops look like in real classrooms and why they are central to responsive, high-impact teaching.

Info: Matt Stone and Oliver Caviglioli will explore the impact of team coaching in settings for amplifying the impact of pedagogical practice, through creating shared language and collective reflection. Teaching is often a solitary profession, where much of the real work happens when teachers must make constant decisions in real time. Because of this, professional development only truly matters if it influences what happens in that space. We will dive in to how team coaching can bridge the gap between professional learning and classroom practice, using a structured approach to support professional growth and improve teaching practice.

Info: This session will present Case stories from two settings across the sector, where leaders and educators are finding significant impact from their implementation of Teaching WalkThrus. Case Story 1 - Prince of Wales Primary School, Enfield and Haringey Education Partnership. Case Story 2 - The Arnewood School, Hampshire.

Info: This session will examine some of the core Teaching WalkThrus techniques, underpinned by how learning happens. It will demonstrate an example of professional development using the WalkThrus 5 step visual guide, supporting settings to support teachers on effective use of Success Criteria and Exemplars from our Explaining and Modelling toolkit.
