Speak for change: what's next for oracy education?
In light of the Oracy All-Party Parliamentary Group final report from their Speak for Change Inquiry, this participatory event will enable teachers and schools to share their response to the report and recommendations, and hear how they have already taken great strides to embed oracy into their classroom and throughout their schools.
Wednesday 26 May, 4 - 5pm -
Oracy and Vocabulary
Research tells us that the size of a child’s vocabulary is the best predictor of success on future tests and children with a poor vocabulary are four times more likely to struggle with reading in adulthood and three times more likely to have mental health issues. This event will explore the link between oracy and vocabulary and consider how to create language-rich classrooms that encourage students to interact with a wide-ranging, complex spread of vocabulary, through both speaking and listening. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about 'Voicing Vocabulary', a Voice 21 project funded by the Dulverton Trust.
Thursday 10 June, 4 - 5pm -
Valuing every voice:
key learnings from our 'Get Talking in PRUs' project
In this Teacher Masterclass, project and impact leads from our 'Get Talking in PRUs' project will share the key learnings oracy has had on effective classroom practice and whole school culture and the impact on teaching, learning and students' social and emotional development. They will share practical ideas for teachers in both mainstream and AP settings to support vulnerable students to find their voice.
Thursday 17 June, 4 - 5pm -
Valuing every voice:
masterclass by teachers in our 'Get Talking in PRUs' project

What's involved in becoming a Voice 21 Oracy School?
Are you thinking about registering your school as a Voice 21 Oracy School for next year? This event will provide an overview of the Voice 21 Oracy Schools membership, outlining all the consultancy support, professional development and online learning available. There will also be a Q&A at the end.
Tuesday 6 July, 3:30 - 4:15pm -
Inclusive oracy: students with social, emotional and mental health needs
In this Teacher Masterclass, we will explore how can oracy be used to make a classroom more inclusive for children with SEMH (social,emotional, mental health needs). Voice 21 and teachers from our network of schools will discuss the benefits of oracy for students with SEMH, and show how can oracy be used to get anxious learners involved in the classroom without heightening their anxieties. We will also outline how students who demonstrate disruptive behaviours can be supported to join in appropriately.
Please note you will receive a separate email confirmation and Zoom link for each event.
