Primary Writing

Primary Writing is a professional learning initiative developed by the Association of Independent Schools to support K-6 teachers to teach writing effectively.

Target Audience: K-6 teachers

Timeframe: Components of the Writing professional learning are distributed over the course of an academic year.

How Does the Initiative Work?

The Primary Writing initiative is composed of:   


School based face to face professional learning – five separate sessions delivered by an AISNSW literacy consultant to provide a comprehensive approach to writing instruction across K-6.

Online self-paced modules – undertaken following the face to face professional learning to further develop the content in the modules.

Consultancy Support – focused on assisting teachers to implement evidenced based writing instruction in collaboration with school executive staff.

Parent Workshop - designed in consultation with each school to equip parents to support their children’s writing across the curriculum.

Resources – including professional readings, templates, video clips, classroom strategies and materials.

Schools interested in learning more about Primary Writing for 2024 can complete an expression of interest.
