ENGLISH CPD PROGRAMME

Research points to a vocabulary gap having a long-lasting impact on children’s education & later life prospects while the demands of the curriculum require teachers to have a bank of knowledge and strategies to call on to challenge and support every group in school.

OFSTED are tasked with ensuring schools have this support in place

Participants who attend the training will be given up-to-date knowledge on how to tackle these issues and a range of proven ideas for implementing in the classroom.

 

Closing the word gap: why vocabulary is important & practical strategies for closing the vocabulary gap

The morning session will look at the evidence around why vocabulary is important, discuss the challenges faced in primary schools and explore solutions to the issue.

The afternoon session is jam packed full of tried-and-tested methods for improving children's vocabulary, along with guidance for teachers on how to select the most appropriate words to focus on.

What every teacher needs to know about reading
