Twinkl and the Cambridge Teacher Research Exchange (CAMTREE) invite passionate educators like you to join an exciting oracy-led inquiry and professional development programme. This is a unique opportunity, completely free to access, to develop innovative oracy strategies in your setting, contribute to national research, and become part of a supportive community exploring how talk transforms learning and helps close the attainment gap. 

Enhance your practice, evidence your impact, and drive meaningful change.
 
Your voice matters in shaping the future of oracy.

Why Join? 

Since 2020, existing inequalities have been exacerbated, contributing to widening gaps in educational opportunities and outcomes. A compounding factor in these gaps is often the disparity in students' communication skills and verbal confidence. Many educators need further support and trusted, research-based practical strategies to effectively integrate oracy-based teaching methods.
That’s why this programme is completely free to all educators. Designed to ensure equitable access to high-quality professional development, no matter your setting.

  • join six inspiring online TeachMeets across the year offering practical learning, reflection, and collaboration opportunities;
  • gain access to a dedicated learning platform to share insights and connect with a community of like-minded educators.
  • receive expert guidance and carefully created resources to enrich your inquiry and deepen your oracy knowledge.
  • be awarded a certificate of participation, recognising your commitment to professional learning.
  • have the opportunity to publish your work in CAMTREE’s peer-reviewed Digital Library, contributing to the national oracy conversation.

Feel empowered, supported and guided on your oracy development journey with expertly developed resources.
