Talk Two is a year-long CPD programme designed to improve outcomes for children in Y2.

The cost of this programme is £650 for one member of staff attending each session and includes three full days and four half days of CPD.

This programme includes:
- English Publication Bridging Unit - The Way Home for Wolf - a unit of work which can be selected to implement in autumn 1 (prior to the start of Talk Programme training)
- CPD Day 1 – an exemplified traditional tales/traditional tales with a twist unit of work (4-5 weeks), to be delivered during the autumn term, with a comprehensive resource pack.
- CPD Day 2 and CPD Day 2+ – exemplified units of work all based on the theme, amazing birds. Incorporating a unit on non-chronological reports (2-3 weeks), persuasive adverts (3-4 weeks) and a narrative unit on The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson (4 weeks), these units are designed to be delivered across the spring term, supported with a comprehensive resource pack.
- CPD Day 3 – an exemplified unit of work as a ‘last push pack’ for reading and writing, using Aladdin (up to 6 weeks), to be delivered in the summer term focusing on the non-statutory Teacher Assessment Framework for KS1 Reading and Writing with a comprehensive resource pack.
- Two half-day update sessions with a focus on key skills alongside moderation training and workshops in the autumn and spring terms. Models of moderation will be explored which can be utilised back in school.
- Final moderation in the summer term with trained KS1 Moderators – Sarah Atkinson and Katie Giles.

We’ve really enjoyed the Talk Two programme and found all the strategies useful in our teaching practice. The children have found the topics engaging and exciting. I now feel confident to deliver other units using the same teaching sequence approach. Thank you so much! (Talk Two delegate from 2023-24)

The moderation sessions have been excellent. It was so useful to moderate with colleagues and the consultants. (Talk Two delegate from 2023-24)

It has been really helpful to discuss how things are going with other teachers going through the same process. It was great to work alongside colleagues who delivered the same units. Looking at books from other schools really helped - it has totally strengthened my practice in Y2. Thanks so much. I have loved the whole programme! (Talk Two delegate 2023-24)
