PHSE for schools provides a look at 4 fundamental areas of life that a child needs to be equipped for, in order to thrive in and benefit from life after school. Therefore it touches upon their own personal development, goals and values; social education in order to support them in making decisions that will lead them down a healthy and productive path of holding healthy relationships; health education which includes first aid, sex education and misuse of drugs and alcohol; and how to gain, manage and maintain a stable economy by managing household bills, knowing how to set career goals, budget for further education, and recognising how finances work even on the basic levels of functionality.
Personal, social, health and economic (PHSE) education can therefore have a huge impact on the overall well-being of all individuals who are entered into this educational program in schools. PHSE for schools supports student development as they learn how to function in the wider community as adults. Here we can help students to apply everything they have learned on all of the fundamental and essential areas of everyday modern life in Britain. For this purpose, this PHSE course for schools can be based and centred around more participatory lesson plans such as those that involve more interaction and practical application. For example, first aid typically involves a lot of hands-on training and work, mental health education can be learned through scenarios and role play, and learning about puberty or sex education usually has more impact when students are encouraged to talk openly on the subject.
Making sure that a high quality of PHSE is taught in the schools, comes down to the expertise of the tutors. For example, a good science teacher is one that knows his subject, but also knows how to teach it in such as way that the knowledge he or she has can be put into practical use by the student. Can the student not only repeat the lesson word for word, but understand what it is they have been taught? Often it takes a more discerning mind to recognise whether that lesson has really penetrated the basic level of learning, and become something they student can use later on and throughout life. Therefore, having a trained body of tutors who have the means to supply information pertaining to PHSE for school’s education, and the skills to help their students apply it, is essential in whatever subject matter the course entails.
At Action Plus First Aid we have tutors with a good knowledge of subjects concerning PHSE for Schools. This can include taking care of our mental health, learning first aid, and other essential areas of skill building that can really make a difference to a person’s life and future. The aims and objectives of Action Plus First Aid is to pass on these skills and help others to use them in such a way that will have a positive effect on each student and their surrounding worlds.
