Developing Public Speaking Skills Across the Curriculum

"Read for a full mind, write for a precise mind, and speak for a ready mind." Sir Francis Bacon (modified)In this talk given at Faith Builders Teacher's Week 2010, Jonas Sauder helps us rethink the importance of speech for education. Students should be capable of and willing to speak what they know as well write it, but it takes thoughtfulness on the teacher's part to enable this and develop a culture of comfortable public speaking.
