Progress......

... and where next

The power of writers in schools

to influence children, teachers, other writers

• inspire, give lasting confidence to pupils

• model different ways to work in the classroom

• share with other writers, including those new to working in schools

The opportunities for writers to move their contribution on

• encouraging the best in preparation and evaluation, ensuring legacy and impact

• different types of residencies, contributing new learning experiences

• working with teachers – get them writing

• developing relationships with schools which lead to change

The potential for writers to work together

• supporting each other and spreading best ways of working

• training – generic and specific

• collaborations/partners/new ways of working to increase impact, regionally and nationally

• leadership

The power, the opportunities and the potential

for many more children and young people to become committed readers and writers
