The Walker Learning - Daily Diary ..... being launched soon!

The team at Walker Learning are very excited about starting a new initiative - The WALKER LEARNING - Daily Diary (WLA-DD) which is a web-based information sharing and professional development site.

The philosophy driving this initiative is to provide a collaborative, sharing and connecting opportunity for teachers around the country.  Every two weeks we will be posting photos of learning areas and linking these photos to comments about intentional and explicit teaching.  We will be inviting schools to send in photos of their learning areas that they would like to share with other professionals around the country.
