@nicrick @TrudiBrowne @educationhubnz Sounds very very cool. Would love to see what this looks like!

The oracy journey at Burnside Primary School. Part of our PLD today is matching up Te Whare Tapa Wha with our oracy framework. Awesome mahi! @TrudiBrowne @educationhubnz #oracynz

⁦@NZBreakers⁩ don’t suppose you want to come and see some five year olds while you’re in Christchurch #worthashot #burnsideprimary #bbfans

Oracy mentoring groups hard at work using our poutama for assessing. It is awesome to see everyone gaining in confidence - both staff and students. @TrudiBrowne @Hood_Nina @educationhubnz #oracynz

A1 Oracy should be the core of every primary school curriculum. If children can’t talk they’re very unlikely to understand it and probably won’t be able to write it #PrimaryRocks

To those who came to our presentation at #ulearn19 today, here are the slides as promised... tinyurl.com/y2wd68v9 @TrudiBrowne @educationhubnz #oracynz

Great to hear ⁦@TrudiBrowne⁩ and ⁦@nicrick⁩ sharing their oracy journey ⁦@ULearnNZ⁩ #brightspots #oracynz

Last one for now: a summary of today’s keynote by Dominic Liechti #Ulearn2019 @AppleEDU @ULearnNZ @coreeducation

Finalising our presentation for ⁦#ulearn19 . ⁦@TrudiBrowne⁩ ⁦@educationhubnz⁩

@schoolkitnz Making #Ulearn2019 just that little bit better. Thanks team!!

Shay Wright has kicked #ulearn19 off with thought provoking ideas about citizenship @ULearnNZ #globalcitizenship

Excited to be at #ulearn19 and even more stoked to be presenting with @TrudiBrowne. Spreading the Oracy message! #oracynz @educationhubnz

Great to see the traverse being used in learning spaces to support our storytelling focus. So much talk, engaging and extending all while being inclusive and supportive #oracynz #burnsideprimaryschool @nicrick @Hood_Nina @educationhubnz

Using the traverse to discuss what Oracy has been tried in learning spaces over the past three weeks. Lots of talking and gestures to share experiences #oracynz @nicrick #burnsideprimary @educationhubnz

Rubrics, workshops, collaboration clubs, listening and discussion starter workshops at our latest staff meetings #oracynz @nicrick @educationhubnz #burnsideprimary

Imagine if maths was taught as an art. Students would be invited to play and explore patterns & learn mathematical relationships, with no tracking, sorting or testing. We would replace fear with curiosity, equity & a love of all mathematical ideas. #Limitless

@TrudiBrowne @Edutronic_Net @educationhubnz Being willing to ask for the hard feedback and thinking about what you are doing, but more importantly, why, was brave. But this is ultimately how we learn and how we make things better. A great discussion that has got my brain ticking over.

@Edutronic_Net @nicrick @educationhubnz And assessment and knowing criteria wording and being explicitly yes or no is key #usetheglossary #oracynz

NEW PODCAST: What Not to Say to a Teacher - Renee and Chris were not impressed with the content of a recent keynote presentation by Nigel Latta achieve.mtaspiring.edutronic.net/what-not-to-sa…

#KuaTaeTeWa It’s time.

Fab to be bringing the wider staff on board and to be able to integrate their ideas to increase the capabilities of our learners. Always exciting to hear a positive buzz at staff meeting! #oracynz @educationhubnz @TrudiBrowne

@TrudiBrowne Fingers crossed!!

#oracynz Hopefully our student voice is of this quality too! @nicrick
