Subject Leader Training Writing and Maths

Writing

To support schools with the development of an effective writing curriculum from EYFS through to Y6 this training will cover:

• Expectations for each year group, key skills that need to be fully embedded, ensuring continuing progression and avoiding gaps in learning.
• Unpicking key skills identified as areas of weakness from the LA’s moderation process. This will provide practical strategies for tackling these areas in teaching.
• Leading an effective moderation process across school that will QA assessments and provide next steps for subject improvement.  

Dates:

Day 1 2^nd October (full day)

Day 2 12^th November (half day)

Day 3 22^nd January (half day)

Whilst it is recommended that subject leaders attend all sessions they can be booked individually.

Maths

Following analysis of assessment papers from this year’s, and previous SATs, key areas of learning have been identified as weaker and preventing some pupils attaining age expected. Training will unpick each area separately, look at the progression of learning and offer practical strategies for teaching.

Helping pupils to read and interpret word problems 23^rd January (half day)
