Moving Literacy On

Over the last two years I, along with Eve Bearne of UKLA, have been evaluating a project developed by the British Film Insitutute (BFI) in which lead practitioners in over 60 Local Authorities (LAs) in England were trained in moving image media education. The evaluation was based on work in 35 LAs. The project was very successful and has led to lots of exciting work. The Executive Summary of the report 'Moving Literacy On' can be downloaded here. The full report, which includes details about how LAs developed their projects and offers guidance for LAs on implementing this kind of work, can be purchased by contacting the UKLA office, details here. Watch out also for the publication of the BFI's 'Reframing Literacy', which will contain examples of some of the work carried out in classrooms.
