Overview of key findings

In this section, we present the key findings from two stages of our study:

• Stage 1: Survey findings
• Stage 3: Classroom observation to build 'Telling Case' studies

For Stage 1, we provide an overview of key survey findings. These include details about the respondents; the pedagogic approaches that inform their teaching of narrative writing; and their use of resources - including digital resources - to promote narrative writing. For further details about the survey, please contact Clare Dowdall.

For Stage 3, we present a full set of Pedagogic Principles that have been constructed from our analyses of both Telling Case Studies. These Pedagogic Principles are presented thematically in 7 sections:

• Key observations
• Before teaching begins
• Organising the activity
• Managing the activity
• During the activity
• Teacher's role
• Children's engagement

Please note: Stage 2, Planning Workshop did not yield data for discrete presentation.
