Teaching writing: a networking event for teachers

A networking event for teachers who teach writing to EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils.

This event will focus on the possibilities for a teaching writing network among EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 teachers. 

Such a network could enable collaboration around research outcomes, best practices and relevant resources for the most effective writing teaching. Teachers in the network would also be invited to engage in projects and programmes.

The event will feature four 5-minute presentations. Discussions about the possibilities for the network will follow each presentation. 

In the final discussion, next steps will be planned. 

Presentations

1. Introduction and seven evidence-based principles. Professor Dominic Wyse (UCL Institute of Education).
2. The successes of the Teaching Writing Research Project (TWRP). Amber Harwood (Lyndhurst Primary School), Charlotte Carter (University College School).
3. Writing for pleasure research. Ross Young (The Writing for Pleasure Centre).
4. Writing with two and three-year-old children. Professor Dominic Wyse, Amber Harwood, Charlotte Carter, Ross Young, Dr Helen Bradford (Independent Early Years Consultant).
