Overview

This thought-provoking text stems from the voices of young people in secondary schools, and what they want from their PSHE education. The book focuses on personal development, an aspect of PSHE that is often side-lined in favour of a more topic-based approach, to consider how PSHE lessons can help young people build the knowledge, skills, and character necessary to navigate a fast-changing world. Informed by feedback collected from over 10,000 students on their experiences of PSHE and personal development education, chapters provide suggestions for moving towards solutions that will help teachers improve provision in what is often a tricky topic to teach. The book discusses how the fast-paced changes in today’s world make PSHE particularly difficult to teach and offers advice and guidance on what best practice looks like in such an ever-moving field, along with signposts to further reading and supporting lesson plans. With activities in each chapter to build knowledge and develop skills which students will find useful throughout school and into future study and employment, this book is essential reading for any teacher looking for further guidance in the secondary PSHE classroom.
