PSHE/Citizenship Staff Skills Audit

PSHE/Citizenship is taught by a range of staff in my school. I use the skills audit to establish what skills the teaching staff have and where they might be able to assist others, areas of training required - which helps me plan our area meeting. It's helpful for planning and means that we can make the most of the diverse range of skills.

Designed really for Yr 12s before their Yr 12 mocks, but can be used to remind Yr 13 of different strategies or generate discussion. I've used VARK to encourage students to think about how they best learn and then suggested strategies that they can adapt around those. I have other Yr 12 and 13 Tutor materials uploaded also.

Yr 12/13 Tutor Session: First Aid

(0)
Designed for Yr 12s or Yr 13s. The ppt runs through first aid - for bleeding, burns, unresponsiveness and choking. There is a relevant news article, quiz and then information for ‘what to do if...’ I also ordered a number of resusci annes from the BHF (10 free to schools) - these come with a training DVD and we worked through this. Students liked it, especially the practical aspect. I have other Yr 12 and 13 Tutor materials uploaded also.

I used the 1st 3 documents with my Yr 12s. We used the powerpoint and clips. In Yr 13 once the students had chosen, been on open days etc and been through the process, I asked them to write a how to guide for the year below - see Word Doc. They also made a short info film which I have and can provide. A good 6th form Tutor session and activity. I have other Yr 12 and 13 Tutor work uploaded
