Introduction to Writing Workshop for Co-educators

(Bookmaking and Writer's Notebooks)

Amanda Bartram

Teachers and children rely on co-educators (ECWs, SSOs, PSWs, BSSOs) as they embrace the wonderful messiness that is learning. This is never more apparent than in Writing Workshop when ‘just right, just in time’ learning happens every day!

We have developed our Co-educators' “Introduction to Writing Workshop” with just this in mind.

Co-educators from sites using the Bookmaking and Writer’s Notebook pedagogical approaches to teach writing are invited to join us for two mornings of professional development about:

The Writing Workshop approach – an overview
Key principles of Bookmaking and Writer’s Notebook
How to support the teacher and children during mini lessons and reflection time
How to ‘nudge’ young writers into their learning
Being a writer who models strong writing habits

Please note that this is a two part workshop, registration is for both mornings!

Part 1 - Friday 26th June, 2020 - 9.00am - 12.00pm and

Part 2 - Friday 31st July, 2020 - 9.00am - 12.00pm

Light Morning Tea provided
