These resources have been created to provide teaching strategies, examples, and information to show you more about the effective teaching of writing. The three resources below each represent the particular learning and curriculum needs of the students in each of the year groupings. Use these resources for specific planning and teaching foci or dip into them for individual or group professional learning needs. Each of these resources also link to the cross-curricular Writing Hub Teacher Support Materials.

Teaching writing in years 1-3

Building a strong foundation

This resource provides practical suggestions and strategies for ensuring students get off to a good start in the first three years, particularly in writing, building a strong foundation, and ensuring students make expected progress in these crucial early years.

Teaching writing in years 4-6

Increasing progress

In this resource you will find practical strategies and supportive information, built around case studies in English, science, or social sciences contexts, for supporting the important cross curricula teaching focus for writing at this level. The resource also exemplifies how effective teaching in these years can support students to make more than expected progress in one year.

Teaching writing in years 7-8

Accelerating progress

This resource has been revised from an earlier addition and has a strong focus on building the independent writing knowledge and skills students need to meet the more complex demands of the curriculum at Level 4. It continues to provide practical strategies, supportive information, and cross curricula examples to explore for accelerating writing progress of students in these important years leading into secondary school. The resource has been updated to include links to other online cross curricula and literacy resources.

You asked, we answered!

We put out a call for Kiwi kids to submit their burning questions about Auckland Museum. We received queries about everything from dinosaurs to war memorial to natural science. Here are our curators' replies to some of those tough questions.

Interested in how you are managing:
-  'class' times?
- email hours?
- Years 12-13 possibly onsite?
- feedback on students' drafts?

Any tips for adapting teacher-student rapport while teaching online?

Any tips for adapting teacher-student rapport while teaching online?

Some possible starters...
- Using eye contact by looking at the camera instead of the computer screen.
- Warmly addressing individual students to encourage discussion.
- Seeking feedback to make sure students are comfortable with the online activities.
- Checking each student has access to computer (without making answers public!)
- Maybe starting each online teaching session with game, quiz...
- Taking time at beginning to greet students. Build classroom climate of calm, cheerfulness... to remove barriers to online learning.
- Seeking opportunities to connect assessment to holistic wellbeing, wider world.
- Keeping instruction simple.
- Reminding students there are no stupid questions (as probably more likely to stay silent online?)
- Continuing to praise effort.
