The Walker Learning (WL) model is an Australian-designed, developmentally appropriate pedagogy (the process of teaching & learning) that provides a unique balance between the children being active participants in their learning and explicit instruction.
The Western Australian curriculum underpins the explicit teaching across all Learning Areas. The Walker Learning model is reinforced by intentional teaching, using student interests (as a catalyst for engagement, motivation and skill instruction) and respect for each child’s context.
These are used as a springboard to facilitate further insight and skill development in all areas of learning including literacy, numeracy, language, cognition, social, psychological and emotional development.
