To start with, it’s important to have a shared understanding of what we mean by the term ‘learning walk’. I take the term to mean a process whereby someone, typically (but not exclusively) a middle or senior school leader, visits multiple lessons one after the other, each for about 5-10 minutes. I don’t know the origin of the term but I like the implication that it’s the walker, out and about in the school, doing the learning about what is going on. Of course it also means they are looking at students engaged in learning.
