Description

In this episode, Amy and Shaddai discuss oracy benchmarks and what we mean by high quality oracy education. Amy discusses the levers teachers have to help identify oracy as well as the high expectations set on oracy education. 



Amy and Shaddai discuss being ambitious for students and using your voice to deliberately involve all children. They talk about valuing different accents and dialects and creating opportunities to engage in exploratory talk. 



Practitioners may be interested in learning more about ‘non-purposeful talk’ and enabling challenges or builds on ideas. They may also benefit from letting conversations breathe and enable pupils to reflect more on their discussions.
