You will spend the day learning the system amongst like-minded teachers and those within the teaching profession. You will be armed with the tools and techniques needed to implement the system immediately into your classroom. "Fantastic Foundations has changed my view on writing in the early years and it has really helped me to gain a deeper understanding on how to support our youngest writers to be the best writers they can be. I will certainly be using approaches and models from the Fantastic Foundations to help flourish our young writers. Thank you for this opportunity, it has been one of the most impactful training courses I have done, to help support our young writers. - Jessica Moss - EYFS Teacher What is Fantastic Foundations? Fantastic Foundations is a system that puts key aspects of communication at the heart of your teaching. By implementing Jane Considine's methods, pupils' language will be nurtured through developing ideas, strengthening talk and widening writing opportunities. Fantastic Foundations is based on three guiding principles: 1. Understanding of the uniqueness of each child 2. Nurturing deep talk and developing listening 3. Providing a rich repertoire of real and imagined experiences to ignite writing Key benefits Fantastic Foundations: Support for teachers so that they have a deeper and more flexible knowledge of writing in the early years. Pupils who understand more about writing as they develop their expertise. Standards improve because many worked examples are provided over the year that extend understanding through a wide range of genres and non-fiction text types. Children have a clear view of what high quality writing looks like and their learning is structured clearly and misconceptions dealt with. Pupils develop their vocabulary. Teachers have clear pathways of how to guide pupils in weak areas. Please email events@thetrainingspace.co.uk if you have any queries or would like to know more. Invoice payments possible. This is a one day, ticketed event. T&C’s - Bookings are non-refundable if cancelled within 14 days of the event. - Eventbrite booking fees are non-refundable.
