What a brilliant, heart-warming session from Rachel Higginson! 鉂わ笍
Full of humour, vulnerability & authenticity, reminding us of the power of connection and belonging in helping every child flourish
Sometimes the smallest interactions make the biggest difference 馃グ @creativeHiggView quoted post on X
A knowledge rich curriculum is not sacrificed to Oracy.
Implemented with consciousness and understanding, Oracy allows mastery of different disciplines to evolve more deeply,
'When I speak like a historian, I think like a historian.'

The Oracy debates derive from
1) Not speaking to a shared definition of what #oracy actually is.
2) Not sharing the same view on the purpose of education, or how we achieve that purpose.
Ironically, we need to engage in listening to each other to grow a shared understanding.

If only people put as much effort into solving the fact that 1/3 of our children leave school year on year branded 'a failure' as they do into amplifying the challenges with the old Speaking and listening measures.
Detail over purpose.
The education killer.
