Just Imagine CPD

• Learning About Language in Context (Spring 2024)

  Working from the principles supported by empirical research, we start by outlining what a language-rich context looks like. We then examine effective ways of teaching about language – genre, syntax (grammar and punctuation) – in meaningful contexts so that the learning sticks.

  This course is next running from 30th January to 14th May.

• Reading Comprehension (Spring 2024)

  This course focuses on reading comprehension as an outcome of reading rather than a series of discrete skills. While we can use tools and strategies to help children navigate reading a wide range of texts, they need to be used with purpose and in the service of the ultimate goal – to raise critical and engaged readers who choose to read. We examine current research and practical teaching approaches, with opportunities for reflection through optional gap tasks. Participants will conduct a small-scale action research project in their classes/schools.

  This course is next running from March 26th to July 9th
