COURSE LEADER

Alex Quigley

Alex Quigley This course is the one chance to see the must-read, new book, Closing The Vocabulary Gap, in action. The day is a distillate of Alex’s experiences as an English teacher, leader, as the former Director of Huntington Research School, and as a game-changing author. An event researched, formulated, and proven from his years in schools, where he refined countless activities, techniques, and engagement tools to help close the vocabulary gap.

 

Nothing matters more than words...Words lie at the heart of our quest to narrow gaps between the advantaged and disadvantaged, to address social mobility. That’s why I am so pleased to welcome Alex’s powerfully illuminating book. It is a vital reminder that knowing about vocabulary is the responsibility of every teacher. It is also the entitlement of every child.
Geoff Barton, General Secretary of Association of School & College Leaders

Expertly weaving academic research with observations from the classroom, Alex explains why word poverty matters – and sets out what can be done about it. Word knowledge [...] is critical for success in every subject and as such it is the responsibility of all teachers to become word conscious.
