Turning WalkThru Observations into Targeted Professional Growth

Linking classroom insights to personal development plans and whole-school CPD strategies

SchooliP enhances the power of WalkThru observations by connecting them directly to staff professional development. Rather than stopping at feedback, schools can use observation data to shape individual CPD journeys and inform strategic training decisions across the organisation.

When a specific WalkThru step is flagged in an observation, such as refining the use of modelling, it can be instantly linked to a teacher’s professional development objectives. Staff can build focused action plans in their SchooliP portfolio, outlining how they will address that area through activities like peer learning, resource engagement, or targeted practice.

Teachers are encouraged to upload evidence of progress, demonstrating how CPD activity is translating into real classroom improvements. This creates a clear and trackable line between observation, action, and impact.

At the whole-school level, SchooliP helps leaders identify common development themes by analysing aggregated WalkThru data. This insight can drive strategic CPD planning, from bespoke training sessions to curated resource hubs tailored to specific techniques or stages of instruction.

By aligning WalkThru observations with ongoing professional learning, SchooliP creates a feedback-rich environment where every teacher has a clear development path and leaders can confidently track the impact of their CPD strategy.
