Featured in this issue is our free event Introduction to Oracy for Primary Schools
Tuesday 21 June 2022 | 1545 - 1715 and Thursday 23 June 2022 | 1545 - 1715
SWIFT has been working in partnership with the Plymouth Oracy Project since 2019. In this period, we have trained over 200 teachers from across Devon in oracy. The Introduction to Oracy session is designed to give schools new to oracy a clear overview of the strategy, its evidence base and how schools can access training and support next year. By attending, school leaders will be well placed to determine the potential benefits of an oracy-based approach in their own school.
​
About this Session

• Why is oracy important? What the research tells us.
• What is oracy? Dialogic talk, skills framework, developing quality of talk, vocabulary.
• Our experience and impact this far, including schools case studies.

A free copy of Alex Quigley's book 'Closing the Vocabulary Gap' will be sent to delegates that book and attend one of the sessions. This offer is limited to one person per school.
