About the Course

How can we support every pupil to become a confident, capable writer — without creating impossible workloads for teachers? This practical half-day live online course explores how adaptive teaching can transform writing outcomes in the primary classroom. Grounded in the latest evidence from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and current literacy research, the course moves beyond outdated ideas of “differentiation” to focus on responsive, high-quality teaching that benefits all learners. You’ll explore what the research really says about adaptive practice in writing instruction, including: * Effective scaffolding without over-supporting * Reducing cognitive load in writing tasks * Using modelling, metacognition, and explicit instruction * Adapting teaching for SEND, EAL, and struggling writers * Developing independence and writer confidence * Practical feedback approaches that improve progress * High-impact strategies that are manageable and sustainable Drawing on the latest EEF literacy guidance, writing reserach reviews, and evidence-informed classroom approaches, this course is designed to give teachers strategies to use the very next day. Who is this course for? * Primary teachers (Y2 and all KS2 teachers and TAs) * English/literacy leads * SENDCos * School leaders focused on improving writing outcomes By the end of the session, you will: * Understand the principles of adaptive teaching in writing. * Be able to apply evidence-informed scaffolds effectively. * Know how to support diverse learners while maintaining challenge. * Leave with practical classroom routines, examples, and strategies. * Feel more confident creating inclusive writing lessons that work for all pupils. This is not another theory-heavy webinar. It is a highly practical, research-informed training session designed for real classrooms, real teachers, and real challenges. Join us live online for an engaging and thought-provoking professional development experience that will help you strengthen writing teaching across your classroom or school. A recording will be available after the event which you are welcome to share with all staff in your school.
