Raising standards of Literacy and Oracy across the curriculum with Jack Petchey's Speakout Challenge



I love this framework, I've seen some amazing results generated from these strategies, particularly from an amazing colleague of mine. Getting students to talk is one thing; but she gets them to talk with authority, passion, conviction, humour, wit, zeal, charisma. It goes beyond content- driven aspects of oracy (although this is very much the foundation of the Speakout Challenge, but what this does examine is the entire oracy package. It's a really well run project and comes with expert trainers available to visit schools and support development.
