Emotional literacy is an area of developement in schools in England at present with huge claims made for its impact but as far as I know there are no living standards of judgement by which to assess those claims nor an understanding of how to produce evidence that can be used to assess them. If anyone knows otherwise I would be very interested to hear. In the meantime my colleagues and I are working on a living theory account as we work with educators on developing our understandings of emotional literacy in a, hopefully, emotionally literate fashion in a workshop. We are hoping to video the workshop as evidence of our standards being lived as they emerge through our practice so I appreciate Alon's invitation to 'Just produce an account, showing your living standards of judgement and make it public for assessment and re-evaluation: We'll decide and tell you if it is epistemological, clear and convincing, contributing (ethical) and educational.'
