Report of the Emotional literacy Wellbeing group

Brian Matthews

The group started with a discussion in pairs of what Wellbeing meant to them. It

became clear that most people saw wellbeing as the social and emotional

development of people, either individually or with others. Note, for those interested some

basic discussions are in the Research Report DCSF-RW073 What do we mean by wellbeing? And

why might it matter?

We then looked at the way the Conservative Government was using the term and

concluded that it was in an objective way that could be measured and was largely

economic and individual (See Appendix 1). Hence one locus of discussion could be

the extent to which wellbeing was seen as emotional, individual or group, and the

extent to which it could be measured objectively.

Definitions of emotional intelligence and emotional literacy were then discussed and

the difference between them explored (see Appendix 2). This brought out thatemotional intelligence is largely seen as an individualistic concept, but emotional

literacy was seen as a social and emotional process that incorporated the individual

and others, and also equity.

Hence some aspects that could deepen a discussion on wellbeing were raised,

namely:

The definition was cultural and could have political overtonesCould be individual and/or communal

Could be objective or subjective

Could involve equity.

The groups were then mixed up so that people could hear other member's

viewpoints and spent 45 minutes in a wide ranging discussion. Each group produced

one key point, with other subsidiary ones. There was then a feedback and discussion

of the issues. Below the main points are typed and subsidiary points on yellow post-its:


2/6

Wellbeing: a sense of self-worth. Enhance in and out of school; social and

emotional interactions.

ECM: equal worth to all strands (Every Child Matters - be healthy; stay

safe; enjoy and achieve; positive contribution; economic wellbeing) Note, the

strand enjoy and achieve was discussed and criticised for being little to do with

enjoyment, and 'achieve' only referred to exams. This needs to be changed.

Results: a focus on academic exam results have taken away from what we

consider to the 'core' elements of education and wellbeing.

Student at the core: Self worth

Relationship to family

Emotional and physical

School community

Shared valuestolerance

Prepare student, emotionally,

professionally, personally, ethically

Society, interconnectivity, self +

others

Enhancing a sense of agency.Encouraging collective and collaborative

expression. Encouraging self and other

respect.

Keep it simple, prioritise young children

not having formal education. Have quiet

spaces, support counselling and haveinnovative practices

No grading

Too much focus on objective

measurements

There are limited aims for education.

Restore more free time with the curriculum

for departure from it, in a way that reflects

teacher's/children's sense of what is

interesting/important. (Cambridge Review)

Enable children and parents to

have a 'voice'.


3/6

Link wellbeing at home

and school with the 9 needs in order to be mentally/emotionally healthy

(Attention; security; connectivity; privacy; meaning; achievement; status;

community; intimacy; volition)

Children need to know what they are entitled to.

Capacity of the individual to develop and maintain wellbeing.

Wellbeing requires giving a

child a sphere in which to find

the human 'givens'.

Emotional Literacy is made up of the ability to understand your emotions, the ability to listen to others

and empathise with their emotions, and the ability to express emotions productively. To be

emotionally literate is to be able to handle emotions in a way that improves your personal power and

improves the quality of life around you. Emotional literacy improves relationships, creates loving

possibilities between people, makes co-operative work possible, and facilitates the feeling of

community. (Steiner 1997: 11).

The ability to understand ourselves and other people, and in particular to be aware of, understand, and

use information about the emotional states of ourselves and others with competence. It includes the

ability to understand, express and manage our own emotions, and respond to the emotions of others,

in ways that are helpful to ourselves and others. (Weare 2003)

Emotional literacy involves factors such as people understanding their own and others' emotional

states; learning to manage their emotions and to empathise with others. It also includes the

recognition that emotional literacy is both an individual development and a collective activity and is

both about self-development and the building of community so that ones own sense of emotional

well-being grows along with that of others, and not at their expense. Emotional literacy involves

connections between people and working with their differences and similarities while being able to

handle ambiguity and contradiction. It is a dynamic process through which the individual develops

emotionally and involves culture and empowerment. For example, it includes understanding how the

nature of social class, 'race' and gender (sexism and homophobia) impinge on peoples' emotionalstates to lead to an understanding of how society could change. Hence it incorporates an
