Planning Writing Workshops Y5&Y6
Summary
Overview:
These sessions will support teachers' understanding of planning progressive teaching sequences using their own curriculum and texts and will:
- Secure teachers' understanding of the teaching sequence using 'reverse' planning principles
- Ensure outcomes and expectations are appropriately pitched for the class
- Provide an input on year group relevant subject knowledge for foundational writing skills
- Give opportunity to write examples of appropriately pitched text to use for modelling and demonstration
Group size is small to ensure maximum support from the course leader. Teachers can attend individually, or with year group teams and subject leads to plan collaboratively. There will be a focus each session followed by an opportunity to plan own units of work with support from colleagues in the room and the course leader.

Session 1: Teaching sequence overview
