Research shows that explicitly teaching oracy can lead to greater confidence, stronger reasoning skills, and improved problem-solving. This course provides an oracy framework along with practical resources to support its implementation.

Metacognition—monitoring and controlling one's thought processes—is a powerful tool that can transform learning, helping students make substantially improved progress. This course provides a practical toolkit of strategies applicable from Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to Key Stage 3.

For many years, curriculum design in primary schools has focused on making content real, relevant, engaging and fun. Whilst there is nothing wrong with any of these things there has been a huge shift towards one of the biggest problems with learning: unless something is remembered in the long term it hasn't been learned; it has been experienced, and just because the curriculum is real, relevant, engaging or fun doesn't mean that it will be learned.
