Talk to Think is the newest addition to Worcestershire LEA’s popular collection of video training materials, exploring how teachers can promote the development of their pupils’ thinking skills in both the primary and secondary phases. The video deals with a topic that concerns all teachers: how to use pupil-to-pupil talk to support learning. It exemplifies the features of effective collaborative talk in both primary and secondary phases; it demonstrates how this type of talk impacts upon the quality of thinking; and it shows what teachers must do to develop their pupils’ collaborative talk skills.
