Say It: Staff CPD PowerPoint

This CPD PowerPoint introduces the Say It approach, a structured framework for developing purposeful classroom talk. It guides staff through the difference between exploratory talk, where learners generate and shape ideas, and explanatory talk, where they clarify and justify their thinking. The resource outlines six practical strategies, including guided conversation, thinking out loud, talk roles, questioning, structured explanation, and reflection. Each section shows how purposeful dialogue strengthens understanding, improves reasoning, and supports more confident communication. Schools can use this slide deck internally to train staff, embed oracy routines, and build a consistent whole-school approach to high-quality talk.
