Writers Toolbox - Platinum Partner

Writer’s Toolbox arose out of the university research and teachings of Associate Professor Ian Hunter. Concerned about the writing ability in his own university students in the late 1990s, Dr Hunter began what has cumulated into a 25-year action research project.

An historian by training, Dr Hunter was concerned that any approach to writing instruction should not be based on passing fads, rather, should be anchored in time-proven teaching methods.  Consequently, he surveyed 150-years of writing research in schools and classrooms around the globe to unearth what had worked irrefutably.  The result is Writer's Toolbox.  It is a combination of educational philosophy, cutting-edge technology, and explicit, pragmatic teaching.
