Talk for Writing 2 Day Essentials Workshop Online, May 2023

This two-day online professional development workshop offers an overview of the Talk for Writing approach and provides opportunities for hands-on participation in this exceptionally effective instructional approach for teaching written expression.

The workshop addresses the use of Talk for Writing for both fiction and non-fiction and covers:

Planning: based on the instructional needs of the students at either a unit or whole-school level
The ‘Three I’s’ – Imitation, Innovation and Independent Application – the fundamentals of the Talk for Writing approach; by guiding students in a systematic, scaffolded way they develop their writing from dependence to independence
Student skill development as promoted through effective feedback
How the accurate assessment of writing can assist in tracking student progress and guiding teaching goals
The development of grammatical skills, with a focus on the functional application of grammar in writing through ‘warm-up’ games selected to meet the specific instructional needs of students
