Product Description
Tough Issues, Tough Choices addresses some of the real concerns and agendas of teenagers today. While it fulfils many of the objectives of the KS3-4/PSHE curriculum, it also aims to promote the development of emotional literacy, equal opportunities and social justice. It is a comprehensive, photocopiable handbook for facilitating discussion on the issues, problems and concerns of teenagers in today’s increasingly diverse and complex society.
Tough Issues, Tough Choices is designed to encourage students to develop their own voice, to take ownership of their own behaviours, values and responses and to become reflective young adults who are able to effectively identify and challenge social injustice. A key aspect of such a challenge lies in developing the ability to counter the five faces of oppression: victimisation, marginalisation, violence, powerlessness and exploitation.
Tough Issues, Tough Choices will help you to:
• engage the hard to teach and hard to reach
• model a problem-solving approach to teenage dilemmas
• provide students with emotional resilience
• provide materials to assist SEAL development and for all those engaged with supporting students
• help your students in resisting unhelpful peer pressures
• mirror young people’s real experiences with teaching and learning resources
• support students in questioning their values and behaviours
• record your students’ opinions before and after working with them, which can be used in your school SEF.
Tough Issues, Tough Choices will help young people to:
• develop the ability to empathise with others and to respect and understand a different point of view
• consider the need to develop a healthy and safe lifestyle
• recognise and manage risk more effectively and begin to understand these risks and make safer choices
• feel positive about themselves and value themselves as members of the school and social communities
• gain the ability and personal power to make choices that are informed and make the most of opportunities that are presented to them
• promote a sense of ‘peer support’ and highlight the importance of both offering and receiving this kind of support
• develop the skills of emotional literacy – specifically the ability to label, identify and discuss the feelings they experience on a daily basis and in a range of contexts.
