You can get the full details at the bbc here but the gist of the story is that the Professional Associate of Teachers has said that “the care and the use of the voice should be an essential and mandatory component of all initial teacher training“. Couldn’t agree more! Interestingly he was covering both elements of the teachers’ use of voice - communicating the subject itself and the thorny issue of Classroom Management.
I can remember writing about this several years ago - the only reason the articles aren’t still around is because of some mind-boggling incompetence on the part of various webmasters! Can you tell I’m still sulking about it?
Actually, I’ve now modified my views and think there’s a third reason that voice-work needs to be included in teacher training: if you don’t do it, a high proportion of them will suffer and even leave.
So, putting my money where my mouth is, I’ve knocked up a very short ebook overnight(!). See how dedicated we are here?! It’s only 12 pages, but it’s free 
It’s aimed at teachers and it’s here.
