I'm delighted to share with you our Voice 21’s Insights and Impact report which outlines our key achievements and learnings from the 2021/22 academic year.At Voice 21, we think deeply about oracy education, regularly reviewing and refining approaches to develop students’ speaking and listening skills and dissecting how, through our support, we can most effectively equip teachers and school leaders with the capability, opportunity and motivation to embed a high-quality oracy education across their schools.In 2021-22 we learnt a lot, from the 605 Voice 21 Oracy Schools we worked with, as well as a number of specific projects we led to further understanding of particular aspects of oracy education. Our Insights and Impact report collates these insights and shares the difference we made to Voice 21 Oracy Schools and their students and the wider education system. What difference did we make?
What did we learn?
We’ve used these insights to make 7 recommendations to realise the benefits of oracy education in every school. We invite you to read the report and use it to begin a dialogue with your colleagues about how best to equip students across your school with the oracy skills they need for success in school and life. I look forward to sharing more about what we’re learning and the impact we’re having this year and beyond.
