Oracy CPD and training for teachers

The current national focus on oracy is due to a growing recognition of the academic benefits of speaking and listening and increasing evidence of the benefits to social mobility, mental health, employability and civic engagement. Whether you are getting started on your oracy journey or looking to deepen the culture of quality oracy provision in your school, our CPD training can help, providing the perfect counterpart to our popular oracy workshop days for pupils.

Oracy Toolkit

Our Oracy Toolkit training is designed as a practical session to give teachers the confidence and skills to use more high-quality talk in the classroom.

Debating

Debating is a structured activity with a perfect blend of speaking, listening and thinking.

A versatile way of delivering the curriculum and improving students' essay writing
Powerful teaching tools to help pupils prepare to debate through dynamic group work in one or two simple lessons
Involve all pupils in the resulting debates as speakers, active listeners and reporters
Gives teachers the tools you need to embed debating across key stages and throughout the curriculum
Take pupils' oracy skills to the next level!

Drama-based Oracy

Not for drama teachers! This CPD looks at how all teachers can use drama-based ideas to engage their students with all curriculum areas.

I can honestly say that I have never attended a course that was so effectively delivered. Within a couple of hours I felt completely confident in my understanding of the debate process and I am now really looking forward to setting up a school debate club. Thank you for an excellent session.

I had the pleasure of attending a Noisy Classroom training session today. It was outstanding and I am leaving today feeling much more confident about establishing debate and promoting oracy in my school.

It was refreshingly valuable. For once, I didn’t feel patronised or reminded how to ‘suck eggs.’ It was wonderful to see someone who was so passionate and clearly a subject expert, share your experiences and real ways to make this work.

Your trainer was funny as well as informative, and creative in his delivery! It allowed the staff to get students engaged in learning through simple tried-and-tested techniques that aren’t too difficult ...

The trainer was exceptional, it was lovely to see her passion and knowledge shine through; I could have listened to her talk about it all day. She really was brilliant.
