I've been thinking about what career progression looks like for a long time, and conversations on here have inspired me to return to my blog after a good length of time away from it. I'd love to hear your thoughts

The next in our @OracyCommission Commissioner Conversations about oracy: listen to Sally Apps FCCT Cabot Federation on early years language, specialist provision, and how our language feeds into our identity. The Commission begins its work next week. buff.ly/3vElcol

This, on oracy, which for me is both learning to talk AND talk for learning - across the curriculum. They overlap but are also different. Doing another CPD session on this at English & Media Ctr soon. Blogs on the site on our ‘it’s Good to Talk’ research project explore this too.

Can’t wait to read this from my mate Kez

Just over 4 weeks to go until I somehow have to run for a long time 😬 I’m running for Parkinson's UK whose work supports people like my dad. Today is also #WorldParkinsonsDay2024 so a very good day to sponsor me if you can 😃

Getting children talking; being explicit about how to listen to understand; exploratory & presentational talk; ways of enruching conversation (build, challenge, reaffirm, summarise... ) & integrating these into the culture of classroom practice seems like a good thing to me.

But let’s focus on Angela Rayners imaginary tax evasion.

Should have said she got 3 9’s at science GCSE and two A* at A Level and an A in maths. She much prefers science and can offer all three at combined or triple

Do take a few minutes to look at this. Great opportunity for primary and secondary colleagues. Make a difference to those who need it most!

One to reserve as soon as you can from the always brilliant Keziah
