Ep. 7 - The Importance of Oracy in the Classroom

In this episode of STEM Conversations, we chat with Peter Munroe, a science teacher and leader, to explore the concept of oracy and its significance in education. We discuss the definition of oracy, its importance in fostering effective communication and learning, and address common misconceptions. The conversation delves into practical applications of oracy in science education, inclusive practices for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and the challenges teachers face in implementing oracy in the classroom. Peter shares insights on how to create a supportive environment for oracy and emphasises the need for teachers to experiment with oracy activities to enhance student engagement and understanding.
