Devon Developing Vocabulary Project: Launch Event

LAST CHANCE!


We are very excited to be offering all schools in Devon access to a project to support the development of systematic, school based approaches to vocabulary teaching as part of the mainstream provision.

The programme we are offering is based on recent research and also draws extensively on our learning from two smaller scale CPD programmes with Devon schools between 2017-2019. The aim is to support schools to build a programme across the whole school which will develop both direct instruction in vocabulary and also the culture and environment to promote effective vocabulary learning.
