The introduction of a new curriculum for RSHE this September has given schools the opportunity to focus on how it works in the context of mental health.

John Rees of PSHE Solutions speaks to Anna Bateman about his vision for schools and how teaching methods for this subject and PSHE can help shape our youngsters.

Whilst imparting subject knowledge, John is also keen for teachers to nurture personal attributes such as self-esteem, honesty, resilience, integrity and courage, if they are to face an ever changing world with confidence.

John offers suggestions for how teachers can inspire these characteristics with more open, two way teaching methods, encouraging independent thought, debate and conversation.

Find out more about his approach in this episode.

The accompanying handout is full of links to further resources to help keep you up to date on the latest changes to the curriculum, and to more presentations from John Rees on this subject.
