Arvon is inviting applications from professional writers to play a key role as co-mentors with primary and secondary teachers in a research project in South West England
Arvon, the Open University, and the University of Exeter are working together on an 18-month research project funded by Arts Council England, The Rayne Foundation and The United Kingdom Literacy Association. Teachers as Writers (TaW) will explore how writers and teachers can work together to improve student outcomes, and what impact this engagement has on teachers’ practice, skills and identities as writers, and young people’s motivation, confidence and skills as writers. It will also explore the impact of the work on professional writers.
Each writer will be matched with two teachers and supported to develop a reciprocal co-mentoring relationship with them.
