Showcase Events
The Yorkshire Endeavour English Hub host free Showcase events in several locations across our region to demonstrate effective SSP and early reading teaching a selection of schools excelling in this field. There are two places available per school, one, compulsory for the Headteacher and the other the Reading Leader.
£250 will be paid per school to cover release/travel costs and the writing of an action plan. This will only be reimbursed upon receipt of a school's Action Plan following the event, and the compulsory attendance to the Showcase by the Headteacher.
Delegates will see the teaching of early language and reading, including phonics, in the EYFS and Key Stage 1. You will observe:
- How elements of the 'Challenge Checklist' are embedded throughout the school;
- Best SSP and early reading practice in action;
- How schools ensure that a love of reading is nurtured and developed.
Time will be taken to:
- Reflect on your own school's reading journey;
- Develop an action plan;
- Look at next steps in potentially accessing English Hub funding for resources, training and more in-depth support.
