As teachers we never fully appreciate the impact we have. For me the search for an urgent text that speaks to the student in their wholeness,the transformative power of the triangulation of text, teacher and student offers deep, lifelong learning. @lengurz @jeffreykboakye

When men are left to do whatever they like with impunity for over 9 hours the heart of darkness is unleashed-mass slaughter, rape as a weapon of war, torture, kidnapping,disappearance-leaving unimaginable consequences. Stay safe my family and dearest friends

Wisdom 'We must change the context children bring to school. They shouldnt  be hanging up their real lives with their lunch boxes.They should bring them in,we can use them. I'm not talking about prying. I'm talking about their understanding of being human' Dorothy Heathcote

For me, someone who taught a bespoke oracy curriculum, the real heart of it can be found in the work of my then colleague @DanielShindler. His book ‘In Search’ is a deep dive into the ideas behind the pedagogy. Recommended.

At School 21 I was part of the team who developed an initial oracy framework and curriculum. It goes way beyond performative speeches, public speaking and interpersonal skills. It’s profound: connecting public and private identities, learning to listen and developing empathy 🧵

A lot of reductive chatter around 'oracy'.Then heard an ex pupil who I taught both oracy & drama on R 4 talk beautifully about the discovery of self. Read her journey here, powerful testimony of how transformative cognitive, experiential education can be https://t.co/WsNBvNL36D
