Professional Development Self-study Units for English Teachers

This bundle includes six self-study Professional Development units which cover the major areas of the English high school or secondary curriculum and are ideal for trainees and recently qualified teachers. The units are as follows:

Bringing Shakespeare to Life

Teaching Imaginative and Descriptive Writing

Teaching Poetry

Teaching the Class Novel

Teaching Non-fiction

Improving Boys’ Writing

I have also added a generic unit called ‘Creating the Positive Classroom’ to help you create a positive learning environment from the start of the year.

Each unit is designed for self-study with opportunities for trying out new and practical ideas in your own classroom and reflecting on their success. It introduces a wide variety of active approaches to learning to help engage your pupils. All units are relevant for both Key Stage 3 and 4. Please note these units have also been published by Pearsons as a mobile app and on-line via their web portal.
