Walker Learning is a holistic approach to teaching to the whole of a child and committed to developing children who can think for themselves and for others, can create and imagine, who are strong in their literacy and numeracy, and who can navigate the challenges of the world with intrinsic motivation and a strength of character made of a strong sense of self and resilience.
Walker Learning is a pedagogy NOT a program, NOT a tool - it is a teaching and learning approach that personalises learning (Babies to Year 8) and is developmentally and culturally appropriate.
Walker Learning is an holistic teaching and learning approach that is developmentally and culturally appropriate for children in their early childhood and primary years of education (babies through year 7).

Educators and leaders can apply to undertake the Walker Learning accrediation process when they demonstrate an understanding of the pedagogy, their practice consistently reflects the philosophy and core values of the pegagogy, and have undertaken at least 30 hours of professional learning and mentoring.
