Learning begins at or before birth and continues, if we?re lucky, until we leave this planet. Literacy, Learning for Life, the theme of the 2007 EL Conference, will focus on the importance of literacy: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking in every phase of our learning all through our lives. We recognize that there are many people that influence our literacy paths: family, teachers, librarians, administrators, employers, lawmakers, media, etc., etc. Our 2007 conference will present many of these people and how they influence us.

Closing the achievement gap conference
2nd February 2006

Education secretary Alan Johnson MP has said that his central aims are to raise achievement and close the social gap. But how do we ensure that everyone is engaged in learning and able to achieve their potential?

This exciting conference will look at how schools can shape emotional environments that give every young person the best possible opportunity to learn and grow.

It will do this by bringing together:
? research on why young people who have the potential to succeed still drop out of their education, or become excluded
? Antidote?s experience of helping schools use emotional literacy to bring everyone on board to improve teaching and learning
? other innovative work from around the country that has used
? emotional literacy to improve teaching and learning
? staff and students from a large secondary school describing how
? they took on the challenge of change
? a sideways view from a commercial perspective.

The day will give participants opportunities to shape these
presentations into a set of strategies that they can take back to their own organisations.

The speakers at the conference will be:
Graham Allen, MP for Nottingham North
Anne Deering, author of The Partnership Imperative
Greg Dyke, former director-general at the BBC
Julie Leoni, innovative drama teacher and researcher
Bruce Liddington, schools commissioner at the DfES
Peter Sharp, emotional literacy pioneer and director of children?s services at MouchelParkman
James Park, director of Antidote
Marilyn Tew, author of School Effectiveness: Support Student Success through Emotional Literacy
James Wetz, former head of Cotham Community School
Danny Worters, star of Market Boy
The conference will be a celebration of Antidote?s ten years of
working to put emotional literacy on the map as a way of improving
achievement, well-being and community in schools. Registration

The Institute of General Semantics in Fort Worth, Texas, announces its 13th international conference. Since 1941, the Institute has sponsored a wide array of conferences that have stimulated thinking, conversation and debate on topics of relevance to individuals and societies.

For 2006, the Institute will provide a forum for thoughtful, intelligent, and creative discussions about a universal human challenge: how do we as individuals and groups make sense in the media-saturated and symbol-laden world of 2006?

What’s the difference between making sense and making non-sense?
How do we process and make sense of the hundreds of daily verbal and non-verbal stimulations to which we’re exposed?
What standards of evaluating do we use to differentiate ‘meaningful’ messages from the noise and clutter?
How can we improve our abilities to make sense as individuals, groups, cultures, etc.?
How do we come to our senses and learn to awaken our non-verbal awarenesses?
How can individuals and groups co-exist with other individuals and groups who hold different ideas about what makes sense?
What are some of the consequences of not making sense for our cultures, environments, societies and governments?

General Semantics (GS) takes a scientific approach to the study of how we perceive, construct, evaluate, communicate, and behave in response to life experiences. From our experiences and evaluations, we generate significance or ‘meanings’ which can then be further evaluated, analyzed, modified, corrected, or continued. Therefore we consider GS a structured method for making sense. This conference seeks to explore issues related to making sense from a GS per-spective as well as other perspectives which can be articulated and evaluated in this conference format.
