- Reposted by Amanda MoorghenCurriculum Review: Is oracy nowhere or everywhere? The Curriculum & Assessment Review is expected to include a focus on #oracy & yet there was not one mention of it in the interim report, but @moorghen.bsky.social @voice21oracy.bsky.social is not worried... buff.ly/kfbrb0z #teachers #edusky

- Repping @voice21oracy.bsky.social at the EPI/Hachette Roundtable on Oracy today. The evidence base for oracy is clear, but it's also clear that delivering an oracy education is a complex, long term project for a school, with teachers’ professional judgment sitting at the centre.
- Voices from across the sector discussed excellent oracy education being delivered by so many schools and the barriers that prevent this from being a universal picture. How can government, exam boards and other actors in the space help, not hinder?
- Oracy isn’t an island - the question of how it connects with other areas of expertise in a school is crucial. How do Speech and Language Therapists, subject leads, pastoral teams and all the other experts in the school work together to provide a coherent oracy education for every child?

View full threadThanks to @edupolicyinst.bsky.social and @hachettelearning.bsky.social for hosting at this critical time and inviting us to join the collaboration across the sector that is needed - taking oracy seriously, and tackling the barriers to an oracy education being the entitlement of every child.
