Visit a Talk for Writing School
Attend an event at a Talk for Writing (TfW) School to learn more about using the TfW approach and see it in action in the classroom.
The listed TfW Schools are either Training Centre Schools or Showcase Schools.
Training Centre Schools have been selected because of their outstanding implementation of the TfW approach.
Showcase Schools have embedded TfW, but are earlier in their journey of implementation. They may therefore represent a more achievable standard for schools who are just getting started with TfW than some of the Training Centres.
