LIVE ONLINE: Extended Writing Across the Curriculum. Helping Pupils to Write Independently in All AoLEs (Morning 9.00 am to 12 pm)

Course date: 12th Feb 2025

A half-day online course to map extended writing opportunities

Estyn stresses the need for teachers to plan opportunities for authentic, independent extended writing across the curriculum. Estyn notes:

Overall, pupils do not have regular opportunities to write independently, particularly when writing in other areas of the curriculum.

This course helps you to plan for effective extended writing. 

It will:

  • Look at a model for planning extended writing in PS2 and PS3
  • Explore how to map writing across the AoLEs and consider effective task setting
  • Investigate ways to help pupils to retrieve and use information in their own writing.
  • Enable you to give your pupils meaningful opportunities to apply skills learnt in literacy in authentic ways.

ENGLISH AND LITERACY - Stephanie Vaughan has been working in education for over 25 years and is an experienced classroom practitioner, who understands the challenges teachers face providing a relevant and purposeful curriculum. She was, until recently, the Literacy Lead Advisor for Swansea; therefore, she has extensive experience of providing training and in-school support for primary teachers in English and whole school literacy. In addition, extensive pupil data from schools across Swansea proves that her training definitely raises standards. Stephanie Vaughan is the author of The Eight Reading Behaviours and The Reading Journey, a new and comprehensive innovative resource that teaches pupils to read with enjoyment and purpose. She has also developed many of her own literacy strategies, such as The Writing Wheel and accompanying activities that help pupils to learn the steps in the writing process. She has written detailed progression models for aspects of reading and writing that help teachers to unpick the LNF. A belief that pupils need to understand how to read and write independently underpins her work and she offers literacy lessons that are enjoyable, interactive, and skill-centred. Stephanie’s training provides teachers with practical, easily implemented, and engaging solutions to literacy problems, and she provides schools with extensive and varied resources, which, according to feedback, have proved extremely popular with teachers and pupils.
