THREAD: I'm pleased to be sharing some nuggets from my new oracy video CPD with friends and colleagues. I'm so passionate about the power of oracy, and I am truly hoping this recent revival continues. Oracy is a powerful tool for us all to have at our disposal. (1/12)

Thank you to everyone who has read and shared this thread so far. I really appreciate it. It seems to be harder than ever to engage with people using X.

For colleagues interested in oracy, you might find the below thread of some use. Talk has always been my professional passion and personal joy. I am really pleased that oracy is gaining national attention, as I feel it deserves.

I set out some of the key points from my latest oracy work in the below thread. Complete with video clips from the CPD.

Lovely way to end the day - planting petunias before the rain forecast for tomorrow.

👍Delighted to see Julian Grenier's quote in TES; The EEF states that “language provides the foundation of ...thinking & learning & should be prioritised”. He says we should give every child the strongest possible start... 'by prioritising talk & movement before pencil & paper.'

i love how the previous videos suggest we should treat all language varieties equally with respect, and then this

Ian Cushing One of the previous videos has “I learnt the skills of oracy at the knees of my highly articulate elders … sadly, not all children get that opportunity ” 😳

How gorgeous is this?

It's pretty cool here!!!

Interesting item by Seamus Murphy (TES) on MATS & inspection says inspection could demystify MATs & as we are still in early stages of shaping the system; 'That process will not be complete until we can move beyond a debate focused on structure to one that prioritises quality.'

Anyone else?

Absolutely superb! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
