Persona Education Newsletter, Jul-23

Citizenship teaching plays an important role in developing life skills. What are the key aspects in preparing students for real life? We interviewed Helen Blachford, PSCHE lead at Bohunt Education Trust (UK) and Chair of the Association for Citizenship Teaching, to find out.
Persona Life Skills is the only personal development platform with personality insights at its heart, where students age 13-19 develop social-emotional life skills to boost their wellbeing and employability.
In the second of a two-part UK secondary school case study blog, Helen talks about Bohunt Education Trust's approach to Citizenship and Personal, Social, Health & Economic (PSHE) education, and the connections between Citizenship, PSHE and Life Skills. The starting point is skills – skills that students can use throughout their life, so they are able to make informed decisions in whatever they choose to do.

Where next on our EdTech journey?
As teachers and educators take a well-earned summer break in many parts of the globe, student Personal Development continues to rise up the agenda alongside Artificial Intelligence.
Young people's transferable human skills – aka Life Skills – feature again and again in articles and lists of essential capabilities that students will need in order to succeed in a future workplace, where AI has taken over much of the work traditionally performed by people.
The big challenge now for high school and college educators worldwide is how this important student personal development can be embedded in timetables, curricula, assessment, and teaching & learning. Our PDF download A Guide to Student Personal Development is "an invaluable resource" (Al Kingsley) about improving wellbeing, academic and employability outcomes for your students, through Social-Emotional Learning.
