Dear colleagues

I would like to find out about learning walks in other HEIs.

Do you 'walk' at your HEI? Who walks? Why? How often?

Are walks a series of mini-observations? Or something else? Is feedback provided? How?

Do staff prefer them? Do walks encourage an open doors policy? Or are they just a management tool to save time compared to 'regular' observations?

I am aware that settings and environments vary and I think the why (purpose) of the walks would determine the how. But what should be the purpose of a learning walk?

Thanking you in advance for any ideas, examples, research or answers to the above questions.

Wishing you a good Thursday

Virna
