Raising Student Achievement in Writing

In what ways am I raising student achievement in writing?

What I have done:

• Writing conferences
• Individual writing goals
• Used writing progressions alongside conferences and goal setting
• S.S.W (sustained silent writing)
• Allowing choice of genre
• Free writing using video or picture from literacy shed
• Writing that is mixed with other curriculum areas

What I want to do:

• Write more often
• Introduce more ways to plan e.g. graphic organisers
• Create success criteria as a class more often
• Peer assessments
