Tight budget?

If your budget is tight, the manual that will make the biggest improvement to your existing Tool Kit is the new Narrative Writing Manual. Structured in easy-to-follow Step-based chapters, you’ll gain so much extra theory, exemplars, activities and more.

Great question! Both Teacher Hub and the Tool Kit:

• provide you (and your school if you sign up for a school subscription) with everything you need to learn, teach, apply and assess the Seven Steps
• contain the highest quality resources for teaching writing
• offer you a starting point to learn the Seven Steps 
• are packed full of teaching resources if you’ve attended a workshop and are ready to roll it out
• cross-reference each other, so they can be used independently or together as a great hybrid teaching tool 
• contain almost entirely exclusive content, so you won’t be doubling up on activities, topics or resources.

If you’re limited to choosing either Teacher Hub or the Tool Kit, think about what works best for you or your school:

Choose Teacher Hub if  you and your colleagues are digitally savvy and want the option to: use search fields to find what you’re looking for; favourite resources to come back to; and access training videos.

Choose the Tool Kit if you and your colleagues like to have a physical library of resources to flip through and reference over and over again. (Note that your Tool Kit includes a digital copy (PDF) that you can download and load onto your intranet.)

Most schools have a mix of digital natives and the more traditional print-lovers, so a combination of the two will meet everyone’s needs, provide a great hybrid teaching tool and guarantee you won’t run out of activities, ideas and inspiration.

Purchase Teacher Hub and the Tool Kit  together and save at least 20% off the Tool Kit! Just add a Tool Kit to your cart, and you’ll find the option to add in Teacher Hub.

Sometimes we find the resources have been delivered but they’re held up in your school’s main office, so you may want to check there to be sure they haven’t already arrived!
