He is author of The Good Writing Guide for Education Students and Teaching English, Language and Literacy. He has been an invited expert for BBC Newsnight and the BBC Radio Four Today programme, and for the Guardian and Times newspapers. From the invention of the alphabet to the explosion of the internet, Professor Wyse’s presentation will take us on a unique journey into the process of writing. Drawing on over twenty years of findings, Wyse will presents research-informed innovative practices to demonstrate powerfully how writing can be learned and taught.
Organised by
In the School of Education and Sociology, we offer a dynamic environment for the study and research of issues relating to childhood and education in its broadest sense, from aspects relating to (young) children’s learning and development, BME, gender, special needs, (cyber)bullying and mental health, to pedagogy and teaching and learning in post-16 and HE settings.
Current research projects include collaborative work with local charities and councils on projects to do with young careleavers, cyberbullying, social and emotional aspects in relation to learning in schools and early years settings.
We host a programme of seminars throughout the year and an annual conference.
