Accelerate Progress with Writing

How your teaching practice can encourage student writing that is purposeful, challenging and motivating

The Accelerate Progress with Writing programme provides the structure students need to plan for and compose texts independently and in groups based on their learning needs. At the same time, it recognises the importance of variety so, while anchored by a clear routine, it changes the motivation, igniters, focus and tasks regularly. Building on and supporting essential dimensions of effective teaching practice, it is designed to enrich and enhance students' progress, enjoyment and sense of success along with their writing skills.
