My fellow teacher/mentor/idea bouncer/buddy Helen King shared this link about a school in England that places a real importance on the teaching of oracy skills in the classroom. Watching it showed how powerful this emphasis could be, in not only expanding children's critical thinking and literacy skills, but also their social skills, and empathy towards others.
Very inspiring.
