Finding My Voice An Authentic Oracy approach
Developed by Rachel Higginson with Emmanuel Awoyelu, Christian Foley and Mary Myatt, Finding My Voice supports the development of, ‘A Human education for a Artificial World’.
Empowering pupils to find their voice
Developed by Rachel Higginson with Emmanuel Awoyelu, Christian Foley and Mary Myatt, this is a light-touch, high-impact personal development and oracy approach for the whole school.
A Human Education for an Artificial World
Our world is changing fast. For our young people to thrive in this new reality they need to be more deeply human than ever before.
Finding My Voice provides a research-based framework and beautiful resources to build a culture of belonging that is inclusive by design.
The Authentic Oracy model and powerful Personal Development Curriculum (taught through beautiful bites videos with journal prompts) ensure our young people experience a human education, ready for the artificial world.
Whole school approach
Finding My Voice is divided by 3 phases dedicated to ensuring all members of the community benefit from understanding and ‘growing into’ Finding My Voice…
1
Phase 1
Background for leaders
2
Phase 2
Training resources for staff and pupils
3
Phase 3
Beautiful resources to be used in class for Personal Development, Authentic Oracy and Journalling…
Ease of Implementation...
Every school is unique.
The Finding My Voice approach is designed to flex to the strengths and needs of individual communities.
Implementation research is baked in to the phases but as an additional layer of support colleagues benefit from monthly check-ins from our team to ask any questions or engage in dialogue-we love to listen and talk!
Bites for pupils
Phase 3; ‘Tik Tok’ style videos by Christian Foley and Emmanuel Awoyelu support Personal Development and Authentic Oracy. Each video comes with a provocation and a journal prompt.
