From Insight to Impact: Linking Learning Walks to CPD
Learning walks are often rich in classroom-level detail, highlighting areas of good practice as well as opportunities for development. But without a clear process to link those findings to staff development, their long-term impact can be limited.
Too often, observations are logged, discussed briefly, and then filed away. Professional development continues on a separate track, disconnected from the evidence gathered on the ground.
With SchooliP, learning walk outcomes are not just recorded, they are actioned. Observations can be directly aligned with teaching standards, performance management objectives and ongoing CPD plans, giving leaders a clear route from classroom insight to professional growth.
When a pattern of need emerges, such as challenge for more able learners or opportunities to enhance questioning techniques, SchooliP allows leaders to create tailored CPD sessions and track their uptake and impact over time. Staff receive support that is relevant, timely and backed by evidence.
This approach is not only effective at the individual level, but also scalable across departments and multi-academy trusts. CPD planning becomes informed by real data, not guesswork, and improvement efforts can be coordinated with greater precision.
While AI tools may support the identification of common CPD themes, SchooliP enables schools to embed those themes into a broader strategy, one that is measurable, visible and directly linked to improvement plans.
Linking learning walks to CPD isn’t about adding more tasks to already busy schedules. It’s about making the most of what you already know, and using it to drive real change.
From walk-through to workforce development, SchooliP brings your professional learning strategy into focus.
