These online learning modules will support teachers with understanding, teaching and providing opportunities to enable high-attaining writers to achieve the Greater Depth Standard at the end of KS1 and KS2. The course is designed for ALL year groups from Y1 to Y6 as the development of these writing skills is important incrementally as children move through the primary age-range. The core messages and teaching strategies in the four modules are therefore applicable to every year group.- The training is divided into four modules, each of which lasts between one hour and one hour, thirty minutes.
Module 1: Secure understanding of Greater Depth Standard at Y2 and Y6
Module 2: Identify differences between EXS and GDS in different year groups
Module 3: Consider strategies for teaching towards Greater Depth
Module 4: Develop further strategies for teaching towards Greater Depth and plan to meet the needs of Greater Depth writers
