This is a new series of blog posts for teachers looking to become materials writers. It aims to help future writers explore topics and issues in writing, encourage deeper insight into the content of published materials, and promote a principled approach to materials development.
Think…
How often do you share the materials you create with other teachers?
How accessible are the materials you share with others?
Could another teacher just ‘pick up and go’ with the resources?Do you provide any support for teachers – e.g. notes, or a quick ‘walkthrough’ chat?What is your rationale behind offering such support? [note – I am asking a leading Q here so don’t look ahead AHHHH YOU DID!]
