ESSENTIAL writing for Subject Leaders and SLT

About this course:

Has your school recently purchased (or planned to purchase) HFL’s ESSENTIAL writing scheme?

As a subject leader, you understand how important a clear, strategic vision for your writing curriculum is. This training will support you with navigating the plethora of useful materials within ESSENTIAL writing and weave these into your school’s curriculum. It will also allow you to clearly understand the nature of both the long and short-term mapping and progression of skills, knowledge and high-quality texts. Effective monitoring of your new curriculum will be covered, as well as key pedagogical approaches which you will want to share with staff in school.

HFL Education’s ESSENTIAL writing curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of today’s learners, offering a sequenced writing curriculum that centres on rich literature and builds children’s agency in the writing process. Carefully constructed models, scaffolds and opportunities for oral rehearsal aim to underpin the emphasis on composition with a rigorous approach to foundational skills. By recognising writing as a crucial tool for personal expression and communication, our curriculum aims to foster confident, motivated, and self-reliant writers who find joy and value in the writing process.

By attending this course, you will have the subject knowledge to implement ESSENTIAL writing effectively and take your staff on the journey with you.

Learning outcomes:

Clear understanding of the intent of the ESSENTIAL writing curriculum, and clear direction with effective implementation.
