Abstract

SSLiC is a knowledge exchange programme that aims to improve communication and learning outcomes for all children. It seeks to achieve this aim by providing a forum for knowledge exchange between practitioners and researchers. There is a growing evidence base in the area of speech, language and communication needs (SLCN), although there are still major gaps in our understanding of how to apply this in practice in schools and the best ways to support school practitioners to embed communication in their school’s policy and practice. If we as practitioners and researchers wish to see greater improvements in outcomes for all children starting in school and beyond, it is critical that we come together, over a sustained period of time, to investigate how the existing evidence base related to communication and oral language can be applied to settings and then how this collective knowledge might be used to inform the wider community of ‘what works’ in schools for children. To support this process the SSLiC programme has identified five evidence-informed domains around which schools can focus their professional development and learning: i) Language Leadership ii) Staff Professional Development and Learning iii) Communication Supporting Classrooms iv) Identifying and Supporting Speech, Language and Communication Needs v) Working with Others. The following describes four case-studies that implemented the SSLiC knowledge exchange programme.
