Comprehensive support for the development of talk for learning and for living
As an associate of / registered trainer with Sapere, Dialogue Works and Oracy Cambridge, Dr Neil Phillipson offers a portfolio of high-quality, evidence-based approaches that enhance teaching and learning through the development of classroom dialogue and metacognition. The approaches can be used individually, and combine beautifully, leading to students who think and talk in caring, collaborative, critical and creative ways in school, in their wider communities and online.
