@NATEfeed @BarbaraBleiman Brilliant piece Barbara! I’ve only read quickly but I’ll be rereading more carefully on Monday and following up on some of the refs. I haven’t read the Burgess et al study, which sounds v interesting

'Learning to talk; learning through talk; learning about talk': I love the way this framework from Prof @SnellJulia puts social justice, quite rightly, at the heart of #oracy education: https://t.co/l535sq3z24

If you’re interested in school oracy, I’ve put together a policy brief & framework for shaping oracy education that benefits all children & young people. They set out principles for socially just oracy, a possible framework to embed this approach. See links in comments.

[Prof Julia Snell @SnellJulia]

@marcmaths @RealGeoffBarton Thanks Marc. Is that how it feels when you read the detail in the framework?

[Prof Julia Snell @SnellJulia]

@alison_s_coates There’s nothing quite like the love we share with our pets. Sending condolences and all good wishes to you

[Prof Julia Snell @SnellJulia]

I'm happy to share a recording of my inaugural lecture on 'Language Diversity & Social (In)Justice' for anyone who missed it or watched online and found that the slides weren't working (which has been fixed in the recording). Feel free to share: https://t.co/evtHiNttA6

[Prof Julia Snell @SnellJulia]

@voice21oracy Thanks! Just to clarify: the payment of £30 is only for those attending f2f. Demand has FAR exceeded my expectation for the virtual workshop (and I don't have the budget...). Rather than turn anyone away tho, I'll run more than one virtual session.

[Prof Julia Snell @SnellJulia]

Are you a primary teacher/leader interesting in applying oracy education in a socially just & inclusive way? Join me for a free workshop in Jan. You will receive £30 as recognition of the expertise you bring. See link for more info & booking: https://t.co/wRyP9P9q1U...

[Prof Julia Snell @SnellJulia]

@voice21oracy That’s very kind, thank you!

[Barbara Bleiman 🎓 Education is Conversation @BarbaraBleiman]

I’m thrilled that we @EngMediaCentre are now able to share the extraordinary full set of video clips of Tony Harrison reading & talking about several poems (including ‘Them & Uz’) plus a wonderful interview about poetry in general. In memory. RIP https://t.co/jy0S4bLIzR

[Nicola Hawkins @NicolaHNEU]

So much to reflect and act upon this year too. Inspirational takes from @SnellJulia @ian_cushing @smlovatt Dr Wayne Tennent and many others. Part of the joy is to have their input side by side and to have the links shine out. Thanks @The_UKLA @MollyHallNEU

[Prof Julia Snell @SnellJulia]

Looking forward to connecting with teachers & colleagues today at an @NEUnion @The_UKLA event on Literacy in Primary Classrooms. @ian_cushing & I will be imagining futures of linguistic justice (tho I’ll be the Debby Downer talking about deficit perspectives first!)

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Entire news crew wiped out: 2 journalists + 2 cameramen.

Killed by Israel which has killed more journalists than died in WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Afghanistan & Yugoslavia combined.

[Molly Hall (she/her) @MollyHallNEU]

There are still some tickets for this event in Sept, looks to be a great day.

Super excited to hear from our keynotes @jeffreykboakye, @ian_cushing and @SnellJulia!
