Wonderful day delivering a keynote and workshops at a beautiful venue in Lincoln.
And a magical moment when no one was around walking on fresh snow ❄️ ✨

An incredible evening last night.
Totally worth the 4.30 am bedtime 🙃
Very grateful to my daughter's Headteacher for giving us this once in a lifetime experience...

It uses a model for Authentic Oracy which not only covers confident speaking, accurate vocabulary but also how to listen and build conversation as a collective...
Would be really happy to chat about it more with you. Have developed it in collaboration with @marymyatt.bsky.social and a fabulous team

Ooo we have really made an effort to deviate from this with @findingmyvoice.bsky.social Andrew.
Debate and the central concept of 'winning' really devalues the impact of deep dialogue, listening and growing together.

A culture not built on our own experience but through understanding others.
By inviting everyone to the table, everyone experiences authentic belonging.
Belonging that doesn't say, 'we care about you' it says, 'we need you'...

From this act of listening we can begin to evolve a 'Fingerprint Culture '.

A culture which reflects, celebrates and meets the needs and embraces the strengths of the whole community.
September 8, 2024 at 7:33 AM
Belonging is first and foremost listening, or as Derron Wallace calls, 'Political Listening'.
Seeking to understand the lived experiences of the whole community from the past, to the present and the aspirations for the future.

Belonging is not a feeling generated in us, something we create based on institutional rituals and conscious and unconscious assumptions.
Belonging is not the right uniform, a set of flags or a display.

'Belongingness appears to have multiple and strong effects on emotional patterns and on cognitive processes.'
Baumeister and Leary

The research around the impact of belonging is strong and we all experience it for better or for worse...

Working on a Friday night. 🙃
As always...it all comes back to the beautiful smile and exquisite wisdom of Bruner.

It's been a busy but beautiful few days. Lots of exciting work stuff going down and snapping up the last moments as a family.
A giggle and a sunset at the outdoor theatre as we stave off the back to school nerves.

With the @findingmyvoice.bsky.social Authentic Oracy approach we have developed the first stage as 'Expressing'.
This acknowledges that before I can collaborate I need to be competent in understanding and expressing. Hopefully this negates the potential for missing speech and language.

Family time ❤️

This is why we adopt the learner first approach in @findingmyvoice
