Persona Education Newsletter, Dec-21
12-Dec-21
Physical, Social, Health & Economic (PSHE) education can improve the wellbeing of pupils, contributing to a virtuous cycle where students achieve better academically. Persona Life Skills online learning is a ready-made resource to boost secondary PSHE cost-effectively.
Persona Life Skills is the online learning platform where students age 13-19 develop social-emotional life skills for wellbeing and employability, with a unique personality insights framework at its heart.
In many UK secondary schools, PSHE has a deep identity crisis. It suffers from low self-esteem compared with other areas of the curriculum. Ofsted’s report concluded that the subject is not taught rigorously, there are too many content gaps, and teachers lack the confidence to deliver sensitive topics in meaningful ways. Persona Life Skills is one cost-effective way to address some of these issues, by providing interactive and engaging lessons, developing student agency, and ensuring an inclusive approach.
