Teacher Training

Every year we provide training to student teachers at teaching colleges in Northern Ireland and often have these students work with us on placement, as creative writing mentors and storymakers. We also deliver professional development training in our methods to serving teachers. Please contact Marnie at outreach@fightingwords.co.uk to find out more.

 

Here are some of the stories created by the student teachers during our training sessions:

Teachers are also invited to book workshops for primary or secondary classes, and make use of the video workshops and downloadable templates on our Online Resources page
