This multi-session course is specifically aimed at increasing the confidence of teachers to grow more GDS writers within their class. The practical nature will give plenty of ideas, approaches, activities, and techniques that can be immediately implemented in their classroom.

Teachers will grow in confidence to:

  • Choose texts and writing outcomes that grow in challenge over the year, building on foundations to be on track for GDS
  • Explore oracy skills needed to develop ‘voice’ in writing
  • Have a repertoire of tasks that challenge ‘what next?’ writers – securing quality over quantity
  • Understand the interplay between purpose, audience, viewpoint, and form
  • Understand word level and sentence level to a GDS standard
  • Understand the grammatical choices and techniques that enable children to write in a range of registers
  • Drill down on pieces of children’s writing, identify gaps in need and plan for tasks and outcomes that will enable them to grow into GDS writers.
