Leading On - Leading The Development of Writing Across the Curriculum

Too often schools are engaged in the doing of writing instead of the development of it. This session encourages senior leaders, Quality of Education Leads, and literacy leads to consider the type and quality of the input necessary for learners to connect and express knowledge across the subject range.

We will consider learner writing trends across the subject range and why some learners fail to respond to open questions. Many schools take some form of modelling approach, but do they really get the most from models, and is their obvious learning transfer? 

Finally, we will consider ‘Fix it now’ and self-annotation strategies to develop reflective writers who know the power is in their pen!
