Conference: Whole School Emotional Literacy
London - 20th November
Manchester -10th February 2004
Birmingham - 26th February 2004
It is being increasingly
demonstrated that emotional literacy promotes
achievement, well-being and a sense of
community in schools. The concept has
recently become absorbed into government
policy under the label of social, emotional
and behavioural skills.
How, though, can emotional
literacy come to benefit every tier in
a school - teachers as well as students,
support staff as well as senior managers
- in a way that will promote positive
and sustainable change?
Over the past five years
Antidote - The Campaign for Emotional
Literacy and the School of Emotional Literacy
have been pioneering different approaches
to this question:
The School has been equipping individuals
with the range of personal and professional
skills they need to contribute to a whole-school
emotional literacy strategy;
Antidote has been working with schools
on the development of models that enable
staff and students to transform the ways
in which they communicate with, and relate
to, each other.
These approaches are
complementary and have the potential to
enhance each other.
These joint conferences
entitled Whole-school Emotional Literacy,
offer you the opportunity to find out
more about the above approaches, and to
decide on the most effective ways to start
enhancing emotional literacy in your school.
You will also get the opportunity to
The conferences are
aimed at managers, teachers and other
staff, at primary or secondary levels,
who are looking to play a strategic role
in developing a whole-school policy for
emotional literacy.
