Scholastic CPD Training and Workshops
Join us for our programme of virtual CPD workshops to support your English curriculum. Hosted by a team of leading literacy experts, the live workshops will take place on Wednesdays at 3.45pm throughout the year. Designed with all staff members in mind, our virtual workshops are an ideal way to make literacy the focus of your staff meetings or training sessions.
From building a text-based reading curriculum with Pie Corbett, to delivering effective guided reading sessions with the UCL Institute of Education, each workshop will provide practical advice that will have an immediate impact in your school or classroom.
What’s more, when you register for an event, you will also receive an exclusive discount for the linked books and resources covered in the session, and the chance to talk to an expert who can help you implement some of the changes in your school.
