An inspiring day at the @voice21oracy conference, reconnecting again with the vital mission for oracy teaching and learning. Heard from so many passionate practitioners, culminating in a stirring speech by Obama’s previous speech writer!

Beep Beep- Oracy Roadmap* Fed in facts working like magic in an A Level economics lesson. Use this oracy strategy to help students make links between context and content, and build inference skills. #oracy #six21 #school21 #aleveleconomics #teachingandlearning
My year 2 class were ranking modern day locations for a brachiosaurus 🦕 to end up. Would you choose a funfair, a swimming pool or a race track as number one? #oracy #explorativetalk #ranking #primaryteaching #inferenceskills #sharedreading
Hurtling through this half term’s oracy roadmap, focusing on explorative talk. The school has been buzzing with group chat through talking points, hoop groups and ranking. Fed in facts up next! #oracy #explorativetalk
Superb singing to kick off year 2s book launch this morning @_Primary21 @MegDrummond21
🚗 Beep Beep 🚗 With help from @voice21oracy we have built on the success of our #oracy roadmap and launched our #oracy 4-18 curriculum roadmap. 😍
What a great way to end our celebration assembly! We sang our Huda Humanity values song - composed by the wonderful music department. Thank you @lottiecashin for leading ❤️ @CrowhurstEmily @school21_uk #edumusic #community #primary #learning
After massive disruption by Covid, disadvantaged children are falling further behind. But a new focus on speaking and listening - known as oracy - aims to help children realise their potential. @darshnasoni reports. channel4.com/news/uks-disad…
We see you @WeeraTeaches 👀👀👀 channel4.com/news/uks-disad…
💫🙌🏻 Great to hear @wesstreeting recognising the work of @school21_uk at todays @AppgOracy launch of the #speakforchange report. ☺️ @WeeraTeaches
'Talk doesn’t just happen - we need to teach students the skills to be able to engage in conversations in the classroom. Learners need to interact to achieve their understanding - just being there, being passive, isn’t enough' @WeeraTeaches @school21_uk #OracyOctober
Next up at this evening's Teacher Masterclass we've got @WeeraTeaches from @school21_uk on the importance of listening! #OracyOctober
Getting ready for @school21_uk speech @WeeraTeaches 🎙😁🤞 Thank you for all your support & dedication during these uncertain times 🙏 We @olha_savshak could not be more proud of Leo 🦁❤️👏 #virtual #school #speech #ThankYou #school21

Was so excited to find a message in a bottle ffs
Head's letter to parents encourages those criticising online lessons to "sign up for teacher training at their earliest convenience". tes.com/news/see-if-yo…
I’m pretty sick of hearing how important kids’ education is, but being repeatedly reminded of how unimportant the people who deliver it are considered.
What were you thinking? What were you feeling? What were you imagining? Listen... listen again...and again. Online learning- an opportunity to be in your own space & time with a piece of music and REALLY listen. A few evolving insights from Y7 👇
I understand that Williamson wants to ensure parents get a good service from schools, but pulling Ofsted as a threat 24 hours after closing schools is like going to A&E right now and handing out complaint forms for the wait times.
I just don’t know what more I can do. I’ve spent every spare minute trying to expose the lies, the deceit,the deception, spin & betrayal perpetrated by Boris Johnson’s Gov’t on an almost daily basis. I refuse to accept a Gov’t which normalizes lying. Please tell me you’re with me
It’s on the gov.uk website apparently - with no further signposting.
Please can I get in before Williamson opens his mouth to remind everybody that schools are NOT responsible for economic disadvantage, and that maybe he needs to look a little closer to home?@GavinWilliamson @wesstreeting @KateGreenSU @Headteacherchat @lewis_goodall @PaulGarvey4
It appears @GavinWilliamson and @KateGreenSU are locked in a battle to see who can thank teachers the most on behalf of their respective sides
