Today saw a major step forward for the Whole Education partnership with a major launch here at the RSA. The Whole Education network wants to be more than just a talking shop.

Comment
Ask 20 people the question above, and you would probably get 20 different responses – and offered readily. It seems everyone is an expert when it comes to saying what is wrong with education, and what should be done about it. But there is hard evidence on one ubiquitous aspect of school life - classroom talk - which now makes a very strong case for talk to be given special attention by policymakers and practitioners.<!--more-->
