  1. WALT: We are learning to……

  2. Our Challenge as part of our SIP-To implement across the Learning Communities the strategic focus model to every lesson (WALT) • WALT • WALT is the beginning of a number of practical strategies which enhance pupil learning. • WALT is part of Formative assessment and is the beginning of this strategy. • Formative assessment has been proven to raise levels of student attainment. • Paul Black and Dylan William, from King’s College, University of London, were commissioned to find out whether or not formative assessment could be shown to raise levels of attainment. They spent a year trawling through all studies since 1988 and rejected studies that didn’t have a control group and only looked at studies where students had been tested prior and after the trials. Their results were published and a digest of their lengthy work was also published entitled, Inside the Black Box, Black and William, (1998) • The research indicates that improving learning through assessment depends on five, deceptively simple key factors:

  3. The provision of effective feedback to pupils; • The active involvement of pupils in their own learning; • Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of the assessment; • A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of pupils, both which are crucial influences on learning; • The need for pupils to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve,

  4. This was further broken down to include: • Sharing learning goals with pupils • Involving pupils in self-assessment • Providing feedback which leads to pupils recognising their next steps and how to take them • Underpinned by the confidence that every student can improve.

  5. Wonderings about WALT. • Why do we need WALT? Can’t we do what we always have done? • If you have a VCE class which has a lot of content base….can you have more than one WALT? • Can WALT be applied to all year levels and all subjects? • How can WALT be used across the school? • How does the GRR fit into the WALT model? • How is WALT related to VELs? • Can you be more specific about the WALT language? How should it differ from regular lesson focus statements?

  6. Geography VCE • Analyse the use and management of water within the Murray-Darling Basin region and evaluate its future sustainability. • Assessment. • A data analysis of geographical data including maps, aerial photographs, case studies and management policies related to the use and management of water in the Murray-Darling Basin to evaluate its future sustainability. • Literacy 4:5 • discussion and exploration of ideas and issues presented in a wide range of texts • Science 3:25 • knowledge of the components of systems; for example, organs of the digestive system, layers within and surrounding the Earth, organisms in a food chain, lenses in a periscope
