WALT and WILF

This post is to help teachers to make the teaching and learning process interesting and more effective!
Introducing WALT to Kindergarten 1 and 2 classes to verify that they understand what the objectives are for the day.  

WALT refers to "We are learning to..." And

WILF stands for the phrase "What I am looking for...” 

Reference to WALT and WILF was introduced in primary schools as a way to communicate to children what the learning objectives for a particular lesson are, and what things the teacher will be looking for in a piece of work or during an activity. 

WALT and WILF stem from research by Shirley Clarke,  an academic who works with teachers to improve teaching and learning. Her idea was that if children know what is expected of them in a lesson, they can start to evaluate their own learning and having done so, can try to improve their work and be more successful in their learning.
