Developing Quality PSHE in Secondary Schools and Colleges
This book explores personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education and why it is crucial for young people. With a topic-by-topic guide, featuring the most contemporary themes, it shows what to cover in Key Stages 3-5 and how to cover it, including methods of assessing PSHE and providing extra-curricular opportunities. This book gives an overview of key challenges such as how to ensure that staff delivering PSHE are adequately trained and equipped to do so and how to make your PSHE curriculum inclusive, and lists recommended useful resources and reflection questions to help you develop PSHE within your own provision or setting. Its contributors are some of the country's leading experts and practitioners with years of experience in this subject specialism, and is designed to support anyone passionate about improving not only their provision of compulsory relationships, sex and health education, but also those aspects of PSHE not yet mandatory, such as financial literacy and careers education.

Teacher Education in Crisis
How was the crisis of teacher supply, teaching quality, and the crisis of confidence in initial teacher education (ITE) policy formation in England constructed? In this open access book, leading teacher educators and researchers provide unique insights into the 'great experiment' in ITE in England, including insights from people who were 'in the room' at critical junctures in the process. International researchers also contribute chapters that highlight the distinctive approach England has taken and why it is now an outlier in terms of ITE policy. The chapters show how it is the relationship between the state and the market – the state rejecting the market when it doesn't deliver the required ideological solution – that makes ITE reform in England so interesting and why it is important it is brought to international attention. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Monash University.
The Place of Ethics in Science Education
Science education, particularly school science education, has long had an uneasy relationship with ethics, being unsure whether to embrace ethics or leave it to others. In this book, the authors argue that while the methods of science and of ethics are very different, ethics plays a key role in how science is undertaken and used. And so, ethics has a central place in science education, whether we are talking of school science education, for students of all ages, or the informal science education that takes place in through internet, books, magazines, TV and radio, or in places such as hospitals and zoos. Written for science educators based in schools and elsewhere, the authors make no assumptions that the reader has any knowledge of ethics beyond the background understandings of morality that virtually all of us have. Empowered with the knowledge shared in this book, readers will feel confident about the place that ethics has in science education. The authors provide a rich array of examples as to how science education, both in school and out of school, and for all ages, can be enhanced through including teaching about ethics.
The Inclusion Illusion
Inclusion conjures images of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) learning in classes alongside peers in a mainstream school. For pupils in the UK with high-level SEND, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (formerly a Statement), this implies an everyday educational experience similar to that of their typically-developing classmates. Yet in vital respects, they are worlds apart. Based on the UK’s largest observation study of pupils with high-level SEND, The Inclusion Illusion exposes how attendance at a mainstream school is no guarantee of receiving a mainstream education. Observations of nearly 1,500 lessons in English schools show that their everyday exp...
