'Talk to Learn' Programme

Overview

’Talk to Learn’ is a one-year programme that is focused on the educational theory and evidence based-practice of the promotion of  oracy in the classroom through the ‘Thinking Together’ model created by Professor Neil Mercer at the University of Cambridge and developed with great  success at President Kennedy School, as validated by CUREE, The Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education.  

Talk to Learn helps school leaders and practitioners to;

• Develop the effective use of ‘student talk’ in the classroom, enabling the transition from disputational talk to exploratory talk to deepen learning
• Develop practical strategies for curriculum development and the training of students to ’interthink’ , through establishing group work protocols with an emphasis on student metacognition
• Assess impact through the effective use of Cambridge Oracy Assessments
