@stammer_teacher Would love a copy please. Went to see the play Wonder Boy this week- brilliant play demonstrating the challenge of communication - best education too on understanding students who stammer.

Our School Council decided that the Girls’ toilets needed its very own ‘Bobble Box’. 🎀👱‍♀️🚽

They wrote to the local hairdressers salon, who kindly agreed to sponsor this initiative for the year.

Today their idea came to life 💡🤩

Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) has significant implications for multilingual learners as they face unique cognitive challenges during the learning process.

Here's how to manage them ⬇️

@Mrslhteach @DarrellWakelam Wow- that's an amazing package. I'd throw in some wellness items too perhaps: vitamin C, ginger shots for that first week, mints, some instant hot chocolate sachets, a handy pack of quick-working ibuprofen, and a positive affirmation plaque too. 🙂

@MrHtheteacher Tentatively dipping my toe back into Twitterdom - used to find it exteremly helpful informing my teaching & leadership but something happened to my algorithm & the unwelcome feed pushed me away. Miss the learning & the insights I used to gain here. So '👋' - worth another try 🤞

Our new independent commission examining the vital skills of speaking & listening is launching today. Chaired by @RealGeoffBarton we will provide a blueprint for a national entitlement for oracy education at all stages of statutory education in England

@RichardWh84 @AlexJQuigley @cura_dora Thanks Richard. An important point for planning revision of concepts for students. I assume then just alternating different unrelated topics during revision study doesn't have a significant impact on retention? Can you share the source, please?

Interesting exhibition on the evolution of the linguistic brain at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento in Lisbon. Lots of facts to use on the Langauge of the Month board in Septemeber #EAL #Language #oracy
Also, some fun Science in the exhibition next door for children.

Reasons for planning for #Oracy: improves confidence, mental health, academic perf., opportunities outside of school, closing the gap, a vehicle for learning, transferable spoken competency, co-construction of understanding, tool for thinking, self-empowerment. Missing anything?
