Can you teach listening?
‘Listen’ is one of the most commonly heard instructions in class. But what does it mean to actually listen, and can we teach students how to do it well?
Join us to unpack what it takes to really listen and hear directly from teachers and experts about how this invisible but essential skill can be broken down and taught.
You’ll leave with a new appreciation for what it means to ask your class to ‘listen’ and practical approaches to help them to do so effectively.
Host: Alice Stott, Director of Programmes and Engagement at Voice 21
Panel: To be announced

Inclusive listening: how to ensure every voice is heard
It takes the whole class to make a classroom inclusive. This session will explore the ways in which oracy practices enable you to teach and foster inclusive listening practices.
Hear from experienced teachers and practitioners who’ve shifted the balance from making your voice heard to ensuring everyone’s voice is heard.
You’ll leave with fresh ideas that you can use to reflect on the equitability of talk in your classroom, and ensure that your oracy practice is one that every child can access, whatever their starting point.

In this session we will explore examples of best practice in fostering student agency and providing platforms from which students’ voices can be truly heard and valued as part of a whole school culture of oracy.
You’ll leave this session with a better understanding of how to create opportunities to listen to your students about what matters most to them both in school and beyond.

We’ll be joined by experts in dialogic teaching who will explore how, through effective listening, you can develop your students’ thinking and understanding and promote student agency. We’ll also address potential barriers to achieving a truly dialogic classroom, including our own listening practices, and consider how to overcome these challenges.
