Frank and Stan Chat No. 181
Manage episode 408245010 series 3410241
Frank met the amazing Sarah Davies at a conference last September in London. He was impressed by her insight, passion and commitment of Sarah so he reached out and luckily she agreed to be a guest on our weekly Frank and Stan Chat. She explains why Oracy is so important, how it unlocks doors in other areas of learning and is not just an English department issue. She also explains how she found the time to write 'Talking about Tracy' during the various Covid lockdowns.
Stan kicks off by questioning the view that was shared today in the press that young people should not have a mobile phone until they are 16. Sarah then ponders on the gaping holes in the government's teacher recruitment targets and Frank shares some research he's undertaken analysing the proportion of students who have progressed to graduate or L3+ qualifications across many Northern towns and cities. The figures are not what you would expect.
It's a great chat. We enjoyed it immensely and we hope you do as well.
