Summary of contents
Born out of the authors’ passionate belief that students’ personal and social development goes hand-in-hand with their ability to learn and to achieve in all subject areas, this exciting resource is about helping students to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding that they will need to live healthy, confident, independent lives.
PSHE, Citizenship and CEG are three areas that deserve their fair share of available time in a crowded content-based syllabus, not only because their learning outcomes are essential in preparing young people to take on the roles and responsibilities of adult life, but also because they can make a powerful contribution to raising achievement by involving and motivating students in their learning.
In this book you will find examples of how (what are now recognised to be generic) thinking skills strategies can be used to teach PSHE, Citizenship and CEG. Due to the vastness of these three areas the authors have not attempted to be comprehensive in the coverage of topics. Rather, they have sought to present a broad range of ideas and to show how the examples can be adapted for different contexts, and for different ages and abilities.
There are contributions from long-serving teachers as well as from teachers relatively new to the profession. This demonstrates the versatility of thinking skills strategies and is testament to the fact that they enhance the professional development of all teachers, regardless of their experience.
