When we engage in dialogue we are not merely repeating or regurgitating. We are exchanging or reasoning across differences between our different perspectives. We assume that all learners are different individuals with different perspectives, having different strengths and weaknesses.\u00a0 At Birkwood, oracy is a powerful tool for learning; by teaching pupils to become more effective speakers and listeners we empower them to better understand themselves, each other and the world around them. Oracy is also a route to social mobility, empowering all students, not just some, to find their voice to succeed in school and life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Birkwood Ground Rules for
