The Story Exchange: Emotional Literacy Teacher's CPD Project

Created in response to the pandemic, with the negative wellbeing-impact of recent years in mind, The Story Exchange is a 2-year project being run by Oxfordshire CEP in partnership with The Story Museum and 6 local schools with funding from Paul Hamlyn Foundation Teacher Development Fund.

​

The creative project aims to improve wellbeing, build resilience and develop the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence of teachers and artists working together to provide space for improving Emotional Literacy and Pupil Voice in the classroom.

 

With all parties working together as co-inquirers, the overall project aim is to tackle the inquiry question:

 

How can oral story telling and the performing arts support teachers to use stories to improve emotional literacy and pupil voice?

​

As Evaluation Consultant for the project my role is to: 

 

- Design, develop and implement an evaluation framework to measure the impact of ‘The Story Exchange’ project

 

- Measure the impact of the programme on teachers, artists and children and young people and their development of new shared skills, oracy skills, emotional literacy, confidence, improved mental health, well-being and resilience

 

- Work collaboratively with the project team to develop a methodology
