Something I'm hearing a lot from teachers atm is about learners being too passive in lessons. My sense is that this may well be linked to the idea of learning as 'content delivery' into children and young people's memories. If we see learning as an interaction instead that will help with engagement.

Looks like an expansive view of #Oracy that includes multiple forms of communication is in the Curriculum review! Thanks @voice21oracy.bsky.social for your rapid response. Coffee ready for reading the whole thing!
