Walking Ten Feet Tall is a comprehensive set of materials designed to support family learning practitioners in a range of settings. It aims to promote best practice at a time when the significance of family learning is widely acknowledged by the Government, key decision-makers and professionals in education, health, the arts and community development.
The toolkit is unique in its focus on the six key roles that make up the work of family learning practitioners and the wealth of resources it brings together to support them in the performance of these complex roles. The toolkit contains:
 | A framework for individual and team learning that promotes continuing professional development; |
| Discussion of the central issues in a helpful format that highlights the key concepts; |
| Examples of materials developed and used by practitioners in a range of settings; |
| Activities that help individuals and teams get started on practical tasks; Up-to-date information on the context of family learning; |
| Case studies to illustrate how family learning works in a range settings; |
| A review of the current literature on family learning. |
The toolkit will be useful for individual practitioners and teams committed to improving practice in family learning. People with responsibility for staff development in family learning will find it helpful as a training tool and reference book. Professionals and students in related fields will find it a useful and stimulating introduction to family learning.
