Writing for Pleasure CPD

From The Writing for Pleasure Centre

Resource type: CPD course

Price band: £

Key stage: KS1, KS2

Region(s): All of UK

The Writing for Pleasure approach and programme of study advocates for the explicit teaching of the writing process within an environment that encourages young writers to take pleasure in and derive satisfaction from producing quality writing. Grammar, punctuation and sentence-level strategies are taught functionally, as tools that enable young writers to convey meaning effectively.

The Writing for Pleasure team offers a range of CPD and training packages, including:

  • School residencies: the team will work with all members of staff, observing, mentoring and providing after-school workshops over a number of days.
  • Multi-day teacher institutes: Out-of-term sessions where teachers can learn about different aspects of teaching writing and network with other colleagues interested in improving children’s writing experiences.
  • INSET workshops

Cost: Available on request.

About The Writing for Pleasure Centre: The Writing for Pleasure Centre was set up by experienced primary school teachers Felicity Ferguson and Ross Young. They now convene the UKLA Teaching Writing Special Interest Group and work full-time on researching and promoting ways to teach writing in an effective and pleasurable way.
