Discover how to give young people the knowledge and skills to enable them to stay safe in a drug-using world.
This programme focuses on Sally George, head of PSHE at Shoeburyness High School in Essex, as she takes a Year 8 drug awareness class. Sally has devised a range of resources for her 100-minute lessons to engage students of all abilities. She starts with some knowledge-based activities: a true/false quiz, a sorting game and a circle-time debate. But in lessons like these, difficult questions crop up.
The programme:
- Follows the lesson from start to finish
- Provides clear examples and ideas for activities and shows how they work
- Examines how discussions develop
- Advises on how to cope with difficult questions
- Gives advice on how students can be guided to develop knowledge and skills to keep them safe
