For PSHE coordinators in schools and those with responsibility for pastoral care in FE colleges, the year ahead looks to be a challenging one. Simply keeping up to date with emerging policy areas can be an overwhelming task.
Preparing for the impact of initiatives such as the Every Child Matters agenda, the 14-19 Implementation Plan, the Education and Inspections Bill 2006 and the Further Education White Paper will be demanding if not impossible for the busy PSHE and pastoral care coordinator in every school and college. That’s where our specialist newsletter can help.
Learning for Life is a brand new newsletter which reports on all new policy initiatives and offers a definitive update on current matters. It provides expert interpretation and analysis of key professional and policy documents and strategies. The newsletter also offers useful guidance on complex issues to help schools and colleges enhance their practice.
Regular features include:
- Case-study examples of PSHE in practice: and the implementation of new syllabuses and learning programmes;
- Practical lessons from recent research: in the field of personal, social and health education from professionals, policy makers and academics;
- Advice and guidance relating to important policy initiatives: from practitioners, advisers and researchers, with a focus on the implementation and management of policy-led initiatives;
- Ideas for teaching and learning: to stimulate reflective thinking about the agenda for change;
- Briefings on topical areas – such as SRE, health and wellbeing, pastoral care and the world of work.
Learning for Life features a monthly column by Dr Graham Haydon, called Values for Living. It includes articles and news items by experts in their field and every issue has a double-page special feature on a key professional issue. Regular case studies of successful and innovative practice in schools and colleges are incorporated. Readers will also be updated on new resources, opportunities for continuing professional development and conferences.
