We loved hearing @cmckinnellmp.bsky.social speak about #oracy during yesterday's Education Oral Questions 🗣️

Watch the clip here 👇

Children shouldn’t be punished in school because of their speech and language challenges. But a whopping 78% of teachers say this is the case 💔

What do we actually mean when we talk about #oracy skills? And how can we #teach these in our lessons? @amygaunt.bsky.social from @voice21oracy.bsky.social considers the three mutually reinforcing elements of oracy & how they might be weaved into a typical lesson: buff.ly/7FjYt8I #teaching #edusky

Looking forward to reading this!

As we await the final recommendations from the ongoing curriculum and assessment review, let’s re-examine oracy’s place in the current National Curriculum and consider how this could be strengthened to better serve all learners 🗣️

We've spent the best part of a year exploring assessment in school. We've overhauled our reporting systems, built in moderation processes and undertaken peer observation cycles. The key finding in it all is that great formative assessment depends on good oracy.

Of course - Carl Rogers would be proud!

😂 😂 😂 Actually the most supportive crowd you could hope for!

Despite being very nervous (did I mention that?! 🙈), I really enjoyed the chance to talk to the NAPLIC community about oracy approaches in schools and how these might support children with DLD. Thanks for having me @naplic.bsky.social @victoriawad.bsky.social 😊

And what a flattering photo! 🙃

Recommend reading this constructive response to the interim report. Particularly interesting (for me!) on oracy and also the concept of 'mastery' so prevalent in the report 👇

Votes at 16 legislation could be tabled within months, minister suggests Labour’s manifesto pledged to give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in all elections.
