# Development School

### Harnessing the power of observations

Working with practical examples we will focus on:

- Deciding on a theme for observations
- Finding the right form of observation
- Exploring the purpose and process of giving feedback
- Observation feedback as a driver for professional development

The session will include opportunities for attendees to plan their own observation process

Pre course requirements

Attendees will be asked to bring areas/targets from their own school development plan that can be developed through lesson observations.

### Learning Walks

Delegates will gain an overview of development of learning walks, related research, and the benefits.

Why use learning walks?

The focus of the session will include:

- strategies used for learning walks
- illustration of learning walk methods, including examples of our own practice
- an opportunity to plan your own learning walk

Pre course requirements
