Walkthrus and Formative Action fit perfectly! 🧩 With @MattTeachCoach, I explored how different Walkthrus align with each step of our Formative Action model (Action-oriented Investigation process) by @olicav. @teacherhead’s sharp blogs also helped shape our thinking

After listening to the brilliant @ValentinaDevid talk about Formative Action (well worth reading her book); we've got the equally brilliant @MattTeachCoach talking about Every Teacher Thinking
Wonder who that is 🤪

So I went digging. Here's what I found: buff.ly/D05FD6E
Absolutely loved this!
Wonderful day with our brilliant PD symposium group .. we’ve established such a lovely positive culture sharing ideas and being open about challenges, learning from each other, no promotion or competition. Thanks to everyone attending .. more to come. Thanks to today’s presenters @Ambition_Inst @Inner_Drive #Voice21 @WALKTHRUs_5

Here's what gets me buzzing about our Bangkok formative action workshop: you'll have that lightbulb moment where everything clicks, but then we actually help you implement it back at school.
Content + change strategy + ongoing support.
That's the combo that works.
Asia, get ready 🇹🇭I’m heading to Bangkok with @ShaneLeaning for a full Formative Action & Implementation training day💡And the best part? The next day is the Festival of Education Thailand @EducationScape! Perfect two-day learning journey. Thx to @StAndrewsIntl. See you there!
