Rezensionen
Understanding PSHE Education in Secondary Schools is an accessible read for all educators concerned with promoting and delivering high quality PSHE education. It provides a theoretical underpinning to the subject, as well as practical ideas and case-studies. It is invaluable in its guidance for the PSHE subject leader on how s/he might organise the curriculum content, model of delivery and activities, what works well and what to avoid. It focuses on developing skills and attitudes, as well as knowledge, to ensure that young people are equipped for life beyond school and into the future. The approach is positive and inclusive, clearly steering the reader away from shock tactics and didactic messages in favour of empowerment and pro-choice teaching.

Throughout the book there are opportunities for the reader to reflect on one's personal values and experiences and activities to support the refining of one's own teaching of PSHE education.

The most challenging and sensitive subjects within PSHE are considered candidly and honestly with clear application opportunities in real-life situations, thus supporting the educator to be prepared and confident in his/her teaching. The context is very much up-to-date and relevant to the teaching of young people in an ever-changing world.
