Our Learning and Teaching : things to do (HGIOS part 2)
1. Carry out a learning walk to
have a good look at your
school. Before you set off
decide what aspects of
learning you want to focus on.
For example, you might look at
wall displays, digital resources,
outdoor facilities or the layout
of classrooms.
2. Arrange some visits to observe
and record what learning and
teaching are like. Before you
do this, find out about your
school’s learning and teaching
policy. Work with staff to agree
what you will consider when
you are in lessons. Consider
making your visits jointly with
staff.
3. Meet with focus groups of
pupils from different stages
across the school. Decide
what questions will help them
to express their views. It might
be good to focus on specific
aspects of learning and
teaching for example,
homework, books and
equipment or how pupils get
choices in learning.
4. Work with staff to identify and
analyse data on aspects of
school life, for example,
bullying incidents, positive
relationship/behaviour

2. Prompting students to self explain during the completion of worked example makes them an even more effective tool of instruction and learning.
3. Domain specific experts do not benefit as much from worked examples as novice learners but we need to be careful when making the judgement of expertise.
