About this course
Held at Elmhurst Primary School in Newham (UKLA Literacy School of the Year 2023), London E7 8JY, this training will equip teachers and leaders to understand what the latest evidence and research concerning writing teaching is.
Written in collaboration with, and co-delivered by, HFL advisers, Ross Young and Felicity Ferguson (convenors of the UKLA’s international Teaching Writing research group and founders of the Writing for Pleasure Centre), the day will consider how schools can ensure that all children make maximised progress in writing. The essential features of writing teaching will be discussed, such as: how to set rigorous writing goals; how to plan a class writing project with the greater-depth standard as the standard; what’s involved in delivering an effective writing lesson; how to deliver sentence-level and grammar instruction; and how to connect reading and writing profitably.
