People, pedagogy and progress
Skills for Writing
Alongside Professor Debra Myhill, we've developed Skills for Writing to provide an evidence-based approach to accelerating progress in writing at KS3, which:
- Embeds the principles of the Grammar for Writing pedagogy
- Teaches grammar in a contextualised way
- Motivates your students to write independently
Teacher Partner Programme
All of our products and services are developed with our educational experts, and have the rigour and attention to detail that we know customers expect of us.
We also recognise that these products need to work in the real world - our customers are using our products each and every day to support their own best practice.
Pedagogy
What makes an excellent teacher? Research shows that a good sense of humour and a conversational style are two of the key ingredients of great teaching.
At the heart of our literacy resources is the importance of how they are taught. Take a look at how we've worked with Professor Debra Myhill, at The University of Exeter, to embed the Grammar for Writing pedagogy.
