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 💔 We're joining @speechandlanguk.bsky.social in demanding change. Sign the petition. #SupportNotSanctions 👇 speechandlanguage.org.uk/get-involved...

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 🗣️ 🌟 See blog and 🧵below 👇 voice21.org/oracy-in-the...

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.

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 😊

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 👇

As we discussed within @oracycommission.bsky.social, there’s an urgency to increasing #oracy education - helping all young people to listen actively & critically, to disagree agreeably, and to engage in democracy … www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
