Where are We Now?
As a whole group, let’s discuss where we are
now in relation to setting learning targets.

▫ How do you use it in your classroom?
The Reality of WALT
Administrative Observations:

they are not always visible.

instruction.
▫ WALTs are not always revisited during the actual
lesson.
▫ Closure is not always related to classroom WALTs.
