Philosophy for Children (P4C) is a powerful pedagogy that transforms teaching and learning through dialogue and the exploration of rich, relevant questions and concepts. It can be used with learners of all ages, abilities, and stages, across all subjects, to deepen oracy, cultivate wisdom, and support wellbeing.
This session explores strategies for promoting speaking, listening and thinking in the primary and secondary classroom.
A philosophical approach to oracy is one that centres around dialogue and chooses as its subject matter, issues that matter and are meaningful to students.
The result is classroom talk that is connected and compelling, and which deepens critical thinking and conceptual understanding.
Learning outcomes:
- Why oracy matters in education
- Contextualised examples of how oracy arises in the classroom
- A deeper undertaking of the philosophical dimensions of these issues
- Some simple strategies and stimuli for facilitating dialogue around oracy
Suitable for: Teachers and subject leaders
