This Train the Trainer course provides all the resources to engage staff to use quality literature to invigorate, stimulate, and explicitly teach students to write engaging stories.

The action research aspect of the course allows you to demonstrate leading teaching and learning; developing self and others and leading improvement, innovation, and change.
