Digital Learning Walks were introduced to Sunshine Primary School in our Term 2 Celebration Meeting. The Digital Learning Walk was originally designed to share the teacher learning which occurred through 4th Hour Teacher Inquiry Projects. We are currently refining the use of the Digital Learning Walks to sharing our staffs personalised learning and 2 grade 3/4 classes are re-developing student 'digital portfolios' into 'digital learning walks'. The environment of staff learning at Sunshine Primary School is to foster a: - reflective learning community which meets the learning needs of both students and staff based on qualitative and quantitative data assessment - foster risk taking within a climate of trust and mutual respect - development of individual teachers strategies and skills to cater for individual and collective classroom needs - a process of on-going professional development where practise is revised, reflected upon and change in practise shared in collaboration with others - a culture embedded in improved student outcomes and teacher professional learning - to enable staff to give and receive effective feedback on whole class strategies and processes - to increase staffs understanding of what inquiry looks like in the classroom - on-going partner projects to encourage staff collegiality - sharing of staff learning

__Staff Learning Needs__ - personalised learning for staff - focus on importance of a culture of continual professional development - widen the repertoire of strategies to develop inquiry/interdisciplinary learning - model effective learning community practises - to be able to evaluate work presented and give feedback in the form of a learning walk or protocol
