Park House English School is bringing Alan Gibbons, the prize winning children’s author, to run courses for both Primary and Secondary teachers from schools across Doha on ‘Inspiring Boys to Speak, Read and Write Confidently’.
Park House is working in cooperation with Authors Abroad, to organise the highest quality inspirational school author visits from some of the UK’s leading educators to enhance and support the quality of education provided in schools in Qatar.
Boys can often be reluctant readers and during his visit to Doha, Gibbons will focus on the key success factors and strategies to get boys reading and writing confidently. He will explore the interaction of listening and responding critically, talking clearly and confidently, reading fluently and writing, presenting and broadcasting their ideas. He will use examples from his long experience of teaching and intervention as an adviser in the UK and overseas to examine the ways to get youngsters writing effectively in poetry, fiction and non-fiction, spreading the burden of the teaching of reading and writing across the curriculum.
Gibbons is a full time writer and independent educational consultant presenting training courses throughout the UK.
