🌱Oracy and cognition...🌱
We can see talk as a frivolous act. Something we do that wastes precious teaching time.
Or...
Or
We can understand talk as an extension of our minds, a place where we make sense of our learning, make connections and strengthen our understanding.
Furthermore...
When we understand the power of the space between us, that dialogue is an extension of two or more minds; that's when sparks fly ✨
So much more than words...🙏🏼

'A Human Education for an Artificial World...'
In the noise of the world and of the system we need to simplify and synthesise,
Belonging as an experience, Inclusivity by design, #AuthenticOracy rich...deeply human. 🙏🏼

To the story curators...
As most schools close their doors for Christmas today we bring our Authentic Advent to close.
We are so grateful to all the beautiful people who work in schools relentlessly every day.

🧵What is the purpose?
Our accountability systems, curriculum and assessments drive a frantic race to get to the ultimate goal.
The reality is that around a third won't reach the *finish line* and the rest may get results but do they get what they need to really thrive?

🧵Authentic Voice
Our young people are in a world where how they *should* look, feel and behave is heavily narrated by an inauthentic narrative.
If we develop Oracy which is highly codified, controlled and contained, then we just add another performative layer to our young people's lives.
Scaffolded yes, controlled and contained...no.

🧵Whose culture are we creating?
We grow up in school, we re-create school, yet society itself couldn't be any more different.
At Finding My Voice we support colleagues to enact deep listening. Understanding the beauty and challenges of their young people, community and of the wider world.

🧵
'When you challenge yourself your comfort zone expands' FMV pupil.
Presenting either as myself or someone else is a confidence super-charge.
When a child performs on stage they experience a powerful displacement. They become aware they can be anyone...
But such moments are not only reserved for a stage.
They can happen at any moment in the school day when a child stands up in front of their peers to share.

🧵Extrinsic versus intrinsic motivation...
Our education system is geared towards reward by extrinsic measures.
Value measured by what we achieve rather than who we are.
